★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The worst place I have EVER stayed at in my entire life!!
The room had no window at all, which made it impossible to know whether it was day or night. In fact, this was the case throughout the entire facility. The only way to get a bit of day light was to go down the disgusting elevator. Staying at the room felt like being in a hot prison cell without any oxygen. The whole hostel felt like a prison to be honest. The kitchen was no exception. It was constantly in bad shape, extremely hot and the fridges smelt bad. You actually dreaded going in there to cook. In conclusion, if you have ANY other option - don't ever stay at this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ the room was okay. I shared with my sister and choose private room, there's no heater in the room but still not very cold. the kitchen was fine too, you can make your own cooking. the toilet was actually fine, but when someone left stain on the toilet bowl, it was a BIG EW. other than that, it was good.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Almost didn't get the room I booked and heard someone else had the same problem except there were no single rooms available. One bed had broken parts to it. Room had no windows that could open onto street, which meant the sun heated up the room to uncomfortable temperatures and there was no way of cooling it down. The entrance to the building is not inviting and not tidy. Ending on a positive: location is fantastic and central. Had no problems with keys.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This hostel is clean, has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, it all looks pretty modern and the security is good!
There's only one issue and it's a big one, they don't turn the air conditioning on! We stayed in a room with no window and it was unbearable.
We then changed to a room with a window which was much better, unfortunately the kitchen and lounge don't have windows either and it got so unbelievably stuffy in there, it feels like you can't breathe.
I don't know if the aircon has broken, but I really think since it was the middle of summer when we stayed, there should have at least been a warning or a discount or something.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The cleanliness of a public bathroom meets the joyful atmosphere of a funeral.
Even though I got a window room it was pointless as they don't open, which means the entire place has no fresh air. It was also stupidly hot.
The bathrooms genuinely were more dirty than some public bathrooms despite them apparently having cleaners. The blue shower curtains have a brown band of grime at the bottom.
The staff were nice, but unfortunately that's the only good thing about the place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The reception staff here are lovely, my room was ready so i was able to check in a bit early which was so helpful. I was also able to move down to a bottom bunk. The showers are decently hot and clean. The down side to this is there isnt much daylight in the entire place, my room had half a window which unfortunately allowed the next doors tv 25 to be heard in my room and smell when they smoked, this also meant my room smelled of smoke quite a lot, it also meant no fresh air could get in the room. The place is reasonably quiet, although sometimes the flats above continuously lump for a while, unsure why they did this as we never made noise. The kitchen has everything you would need, including actual ovens, and they have a common room and a laundry. You also get a locker for each bed which is really helpful and they provide a towel and flannel for each guest so that was a lovely touch, all in all i liked it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Booked into a private room with my boyfriend, it was very basic and no window making it very cell like. The toilets were disgusting, all the sanitary bins overflowing and bugs in the shower. One sink was broken and so was the soap dispenser. Anything you wanted to use in the kitchen needed washing first and it didn't looked like it got cleaned very regularly. Was meant to move into private room myself later in the week however have cancelled to go elsewhere and would recommend anyone else planning to stay here cancel and find somewhere else.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just called you guys twice and the receptionist or whoever was answering the phone laughed at me and hanged up both times because "he couldn't understand me". Disrespectful and rude, wanted to book a room, that's all. Clearly not gonna happen.
