    "kind staff, nice location, clean blanket, it was suitable to stay." source Hostelworld

  • Service: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "very helpful staff, big rooms even if quite old, very good location." source Hostelworld

  • Location: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "It's a bit of a strange set up as the hostel is student halls for the rest of the year, but the rooms have a nice amount of privacy, the only thing I'd say is it would be nice if they put in a little kitchen area (even just a toaster and a kettle would be better than nothing) and a few social things would make it easier for everyone to get to know each other." source Hostelworld

    "So when we arrived to the address in our booking sheet the building was not accesible because there were works on it and there were not even a sheet of paper indicating the new address, so we must call to find the new location, we came from abroad and we couldn\\\'t find a phone cabin, so it was very expensive for us to make that call." source Hostelworld

    "I think the other HI Downtown is a better hostel/value." source Hostelworld

    "Great location, strange to have individual rooms within dorm without locks." source Hostelworld

  • Value

    "Deffinatly the worest hostel value for money wise ive ever stayed at, if you can afford 40$ a night and there is more than one of you, i'd get a hotel." source Hostelworld

    "Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly; entrance security is great, and the hostel offers good value luggage storage." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    "ALthough the airconditioning unit was poor, because the rooms were seperated & it only worked in one room, and when you had the window open, the room stank from people smoking by the entrance." source Hostelworld

    "Unfortunately there was no wireless internet in the rooms. It was good though sharing rooms with 4 people." source Hostelworld

    "It would be really nice to have some wifi, even if only in the lobby/common room." source Hostelworld

    "I wouldn't say that the common room is much of a common room." source Hostelworld

    "The room had lots of space." source Hostelworld
