"Brilliant backpackers."

10.0

The cleanest, well kitted out and organised hostel I've stayed in. Amazing vault space for study, sewing, music, reading.

The only downside was my bed was against the wall next to the stairs. Earplugs were necessary to block the sound of people coming and going at night.

The hostel was clean

Hi the service was really bad ! When we reached, there was confusion about the room we were booked for the wrong room and they had to sort that out that created confusion, the shower water was unbearably hot that almost burned our skin! Certain health and safety rules need to be followed while providing amenities ! It is the worst stay we have ever been in !
