It was only $25 a night for a 4 female dorm, ensuite. Bargain, but you get SO MUCH more than just a room. There was free oatmeal and pancake batter (to make your own pancakes) everyday, so that covers breakfast. Then in the evening they have parties downstairs in the basements with free beer and vodka, beer pong, dance floor/DJ... More

Stayed here for a few nights in April. The hostel itself served its purpose of a place to sleep, but it is pretty unclean, the carpets could do with a good hoover, and the bathroom a good scrub. I am guessing that although I regularly saw a cleaner I am guessing he does the bare minimum and certainly does not... More

This place had really good reviews so we thought it would be at least clean. At least the location was good. The receptionists were not helpful, and whilst there are 2 computers on the ground floor they are constantly taken (especially at night). WiFi access is very limited; it did not work in our rooms (first floor), and in the... More

Nothing terrible about this hostel, but the wine and cheese advertised was mysteriously cancelled, and the rooms were basic for their price. Breakfast was OK. Stayed in better in San Fran. More

I am gonna explain something that it won't be explained when you register. Downstairs, there is a kind of night club, a dance floor, table poker... Pretty cool. And EVERY NIGHT, there's a... More

The Good:- good staff, good atmosphere, free beer at 9.30 PM, kitchen not bad, reasonable price. The Bad:- Lack of Mirrors over the vanity's and lack of both in shared bathrooms. Wi-fi was average, cutting out a lot. Appeared there were plenty of rooms available and the 2 of us were stuck with 2 others and both had top bunks.... More

Need I say more, I was bit by Bedbugs there.... also the bathrooms had mold, the carpet stunk. The Manager was rude and did not care that I was bit by Bedbugs. The Kitchen had rotted food in sink with stains. The Elevator only worked 1/2 the time. I would NEVER stay here again! More
