The hostel overall is clean and comfortable. The rooms are quite cold and despite turning up the thermostat the temperature did not change. There is only one extension lead per room which is unfortunate when you are on the opposite end and need to charge your phone but also set an alarm. My room was located beside the bathrooms (208) and I can honestly say the noises coming from fellow lodgers were worrying. The entire night I was awoken by people hocking, like seriously in the morning I was worried I d find a lung in the sink it was disgusting to listen to. In the morning I also closed the doors to the washroom to hopefully prevent this affecting other guests stay. The breakfast was okay although the coffee was more like yellow water.
In terms of guest dynamics most people during my stay were around the 40-65 age range which is cool but it was more of an early night vibe.
