Feels more like a student dorm than a hotel.
There are a lot of people and it’s quite messy everywhere. The beds are okay, but the showers don’t look very nice.
The real nightmare: they lock the kitchen from 10 PM to 7 AM. You can’t get water, make tea, or even take your own food from the fridge during that time.

Concept with showers , toilets and sink in bedroom, I'm not a big fan. Bank beds with black out curtain quite nice and comfy. Bit cold the Donna isn't that thick. Such a process to get access to the room, no key anymore but an app to download to get access to your room, better not bit flat out of battery of forget the phone in the room

The biggest and perhaps the only major problem with this hostel is the noise from within the building. Great noise reduction for outside activities, but the nature of the building is flawed, so the amount of noise you will hear from the common room open corridor which every room faces is very loud.
Other than this, it is quite a good hostel, one of the better ones you could stay at. I was in a private room which had some decent amenities, however the pillows were quite lumpy haha.
The other guests were quite disrespectful of rules unfortunately, not considering others in the kitchen with cleanliness etc.
Staff are 10/10 amazing! I want to take them all home with me 😂
