Liked: nothing!

Disliked: this was absolutely one of the worst hostels i have ever stayed in! there is a nightclub downstairs till 3am which is fine, but you can hear it everywhere in the hostel even when you're trying to sleep. not only that, we had booked 3 beds but when we got back there was someone else asleep in one of them... we advised the hostel staff who were extremely rude and unhelpful and ended up putting one of us in a giant warehouse style room that was obvoiusly undergoing renovation with cardboard boxes and timber cut offs everywhere. my friend was too scared to sleep there so sat in the common room until 4am and attempted to sleep on the couch, only to told she wasnt allowed to do so. eventually they put her in another bed in another room - by this time it was 5am! the facilities are also dirty and there is no breakfast included.

Liked: Good location....

Disliked: the angry staff, the person sleeping in my overbooked bed when I got back to the hostel, the loud banging on the wall at night, the hostile response from the staff when we said we weren't pleased with our stay.

Liked: on first entering the rooms it was impossible to work out which beds where taken there was pillows and blankets thrown on all beds with no allocation we just sifted through and hoped no one else was sleeping there. the shower in our room was clean enogh but had no hot water at all and the shared shower block was severly leeking on to the carpet outside making the whole hallway smell of stale wet carpet.

Disliked: the directions fron the website were useless the streets we were told to take didnt exist. and the staff on the front desk obviously worked at the bowling alley not the hostel cos they did not have a clue.
