Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited Wi-Fi hours
The property does not offer free Wi-Fi but does have a paid service which guests can use. Unfortunately the hostel turns the Wi-Fi off during the evening and night and dozens of guests state that this is very restrictive. Guests do not enjoy the hostel dictating when they can use the internet that they have paid for.
negative:
Dirty and poor quality facilities
Cleanliness levels are reported to be poor in this property, with the communal areas receiving particular criticism. Guests also feel that many of the facilities are old and in bad condition, especially the kitchen area.
negative:
Noisy environment
As there is a bar on the property and many party-goers, the property has a noisy atmosphere late into the night. Guests state that this is made worse by the thin walls and poor soundproofing in the rooms and suggest that getting a good night's sleep is difficult at this hostel.
