Great and social hostel. The location is amazing and they have a really great common area outside. The only issue was that the dorm I was in didn't have an actual wall but only a plastic room divider towards the common area. This meant that I heard people party until 4am as if I was literally in the same room as them which made it impossible to sleep. As far as I can tell this only applies to room 106 if I remember correctly so just make sure you're not in that one

Location was good and met some lovely people to have dinner / drinks with. But It wasn't what we expected. Very dirty, luckily we had a private room with ensuite but would not have used the communal toilets/washrooms. Staff are quite unhelpful and were not able to answer any questions on the area / activities available and unfortunately the rooftop was closed.

The 1st floor Washroom was not well maintained. The common area was not well maintained. They allowed other people to party in the common area previous day with lights on. But the next day they said that they don't turn on lights after 11 p.m. The manager Joseph was rude and biased to some people. Rules are applicable only for certain people.
