Not a reflection on current staff who were very nice but something management needs to look at. ##### Elaine Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lesley 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The ablution area was filthy and only one woman's toilet for the whole top floor ##### Lesley Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosie 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, good facilities esp smart tv ##### Rosie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Mycket trevlig personal, en av de bästa standarden på hostels! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine 13 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very noisy all around.

Stock noch kein Problem ist. ##### Margot Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David 28 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beds were comfortable, quiet at night. We had workmen making building noise (banging, drilling) outside our room for both afternoons, which was really annoying and hopeless given the cost of the room.

Dryer started at 10pm and was finished an hour later but started every 2 minutes for 1 minute the next hour. So only quiet about midnight. it was so loud it was noisy. not even earplugs could block out the sound. really noisy. dryer started at 10pm and was finished an hour later but started every 2 minutes for 1 minute the next hour. then only quiet until midnight. it was so loud that not even earplugs could block out the sound. Furthermore the door to the toilet banged so hard that it could be felt in the bed. so I was woken up every time someone had to use the toilet. But it was clean and the beds/rooms were nice. but there was so much noise that I would never stay there again. ##### Tanja Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roxane 1 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a great stay.
