The thing about this hostel is that it could've been a decent stay if it wasn't for the facts that I got attacked by bedbugs and apparently they've had this prob for awhile and a staff member broke into my locker and stole my cash, which has also been a problem for awhile because there are no security cameras on...

Great bar with freindly barmen, a pool table, a huge comfy room, hot showers ( most of the time!), good food, helped us order Dominoes pizza :) It is a little way out of the centre of town but a taxi is really cheap and...

I suppose it depends what you're looking for. If you're travelling alone and don't mind the state of where you're sleeping and want to party this seems like a good enough place to do it as they have activities arranged every night so you can meet loads of like-minded people. Although not ridiculously far from town, there are better places... More

To be fair, I should not have booked into this place as, although I fancy a drink now and again, I was not up for a ḿad-fer-it' party. Although it didnt seem that the people there wanted to party that much (more play pool or watch DVDs), they insisted on playing music so loud it shook the rooms (including my... More

Just brilliant, was going to stay for just 1 night ended up staying a week, great party, always loads of people around to hang with and see the sites. Comfy beds, clean, secure, super friendly, James the manager was brilliantly helpful and way too patient, god bless the British. Couldn't ask for more, after staying in the Lima "The Point"... More
