Quite disappointing
Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: The building was located underground, so there were no windows, just some fresh air at the courtyard.Everything was messy and dirty, specially in the kitchen. The whole place looked like if anyone was taking care of it - I didn’t see anyone cleaning, I didn’t see staff members, the kitchen was dirty at night and same at the following morning.

It's cheap for a reason
Liked: The hostel is very quiet while still walking distance to the centre.
Disliked: I was a bit uncomfortable being placed in a six bed dorm with only men, but one luckily got replaced after only one night. The hostel looks a bit sketchy, and you will have to lift any heavy luggage down some pretty steep stairs. The reception is open very few hours, I spent three nights here and never saw any staff.

Very poor
Liked: The staff ,& location
Disliked: There was a nightclub over the hostel that played loud thumping music until 3.30 am. Apparently only on Fri & Sat nights. Room was a bit dodgy as well, i.e. power cord over carpet, light switch for main room in the bathroom so was dark while walking to turn on switch. Website showed photo of building above giving the impression this was where U stayed but actually the accomodation was in a basement below the nice building.

Poorest experience ever. Don't book...
Liked: Room is still ok. The bed was uncomfortable to sleep - I could feel the spring in mattress. I doubt if the blankets were washed or not? Bad experience!
Disliked: I didn't like anything here. First of all, It is situated 'Underground', so no natural ventilation (claustrophobic people don't book please)! And one more thing, seriously, no staff is there on reception and in the late night you don't know what to do in case you need any help. I stayed here for 5 nights, on one night when I came back from an event, a girl was sleeping on my bed (partially naked), I told her its my bed (It was 11 pm sort of), she was stumped, I told her I give you 5 minutes to sort out and put your clothes on, take your luggage and everything to leave the room. She did leave the room but took my blanket with her, I didn't had blanket that night, and nobody was there in night at the reception - so to whom i should report such things or ask for a blanket or anything. I had no choice. I never a saw any staff during my stay of 5 days here!The hostel was below my expectations. The first day when I went to washroom, everything was uncleaned (I have tons of images as proof), The shower didn't give the hot water at all, Even the scariest thing is - one of the shower room didn't have any lock or anything (It was a sliding door) - It's like --> the door will keep sliding and automatically open when you are in shower. I really wonder how can girls manage that? I traveled across a world, lived in many different hostels, but this has been my poorest experience ever.My only mistake is - I have booked 'Non-refundable' so had no option but to manage! Nobody was there to hear your complaint. Anyway, book on your own risk. I would say if you want to book for a one night - should be fine, but if you want a peaceful and safe place - its not for you!

Passable
Disliked: It's too expensive and the room is not comfortable and so dark a lot noisy. The price is too high for the quality

It’s the worst hostel I...
Liked: Location and good WiFi.
Disliked: Room a box with no windows. Located basically in the basement of a building. Room smelt bad due to poor ventilation. Kitchen dirty and basic. Dining area minimalist. Some residents slept in lounge area(can’t say I blame them). External noise, sounded like a nightclub above us until 4am. Reception only available between 2-4pm.

Bad
Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The fact that I booked a bunk bed and got a single bed in a room with just one bunk bed and a door that locks with a code, and had to share with a male in the same room
