For a hostel it was quite comfy. Went there on a class trip about a year ago. Rooms were clean, and so were bathrooms. The view wasn't amazing, but we mainly used the hostel for sleep. The breakfast was less than impressive, but average. Rolls, cereal and horrible coffee. It's pretty centrally located, right above a Burger King, close to... More

A very crowded and noisy street from one side of the hotel, and a railway station from another. VERY NOISY ALL THE TIME!!! Rooms are just boxes. Clean but yet like in jail. More

Breakfast basic continental but cheap and plentiful. Easy access to everywhere from the Zoo station which is only metres away. Area is a little downbeat but excellent bar underneath run... More

The hostel itself us a relatively standard hostel with either dorms or private rooms (which btw are private dorms with 2 made up beds instead of bunks). The hostel seemed to get a lot of business from groups which... More

I could put my luggage in storage room and my laptop in a safe, ok. They charge for things most hostels don't: shampoo, soap, internet access. Sign... More
