It's good value, but could've done with fewer stains on the floor haha.

8/10

There was an issue with an amenity listed on the Expedia app not being available for my room, and the other rooms were already taken. The company provided a partial refund to amend the missing amenities. I was disappointed to not have the amenity, but happy that the company took my complaint seriously and worked to improve the situation.

Great location. The hostel is more like a hotel with 3 floors for the facilities mixed with many more floors with several rooms each. My room was mixed and people made numerous disturbances.

(stayed in private rooms) Simple room that was tidy and clean. Bed had a single duvet on it - would have been nice to have the option of more blankets when it was cold. Room did had it's own inbuilt heater though so not a huge issue.
