We did not like the bedroom. It was closed off room. There was no blackout curtains. The wall was not completed and dirt on pillowcases.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I ahve stayed in many hostels around the world and this was definietly one of the worst. Room and bed were comfortable but the shared bathroom (which was not clear at the time of booking) was disgusting, the lock on the toilet was broken and despite me mentioning it to two members of staff nothing was done across the three days I was there. On the Saturday morning I went to use the bathroom to find it covered in urine. The walls were paper thin which meant being kept awake as people came back from evenings out but also by the incredibly noisy cleares first thing in the morning. The walk from the center to the hostel felt unsafe due to the underpasses and large amount fo homeless people on route. The price was only slightly less than the hotel around the corner whihc also offered breakfast. I will definitely not stay here again.
