Get what you expect from a hostel, 24/7 front desk which is good. Only small issue is rooms at the rear of the hostel are a bit of a trek to get to and back onto a nightclub, fine if you're in the club until closing which we ended up doing both nights. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### denise 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was great. I don’t like the policy of paying to store luggage on the day of check out. The building is interesting with twists and turns in hallways to get to a free bathroom, tv room, and kitchen.
