Information shared on the page was not very accurate. Double room only had one bedside lamp which was broken and staff didn’t try to fix it for us and totally ignored our request.
Had an amazing stay at this hostel, rooms were fairly clean and as were showers/toilets considering the amount of people that use them. The breakfast is an absolute game changer, loved this being included. Kitchen was tiny for the amount of people which made it difficult to cook anything.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The room stank! it was hot and not allowed to eat breakfast at 6:55! I paid a really high price for a hostel room on new years, but the staff were arrogant and rude. Close to St James but pretty much like every other hostel except price. Not worth it.
