| Very good located! 3-bed rooms are big and simple equipped, but everything you need is there. Staff is friendly and helpful. | ||

| Biggest drawback was the lack of wifi and somewhere one could make a cup of tea.Microwave was in the lobby. | ||

| a little expensive | ||

| The say they offer free wi-fi and inclusive breakfast, but you have to go to the other location, which is about a 5 minute walk away. But the rooms are nice and clean, you get your own bathroom (essentially) and the breakfast, once there, is really good. But not having access to internet where you're staying is a pain. | ||

| Really nice hostel. 3 beds dorms, very clean and there is a bathroom in the room. However, it would be a good idea to organise some social activities just to make it easier to meet other hostel guests. Also, two big problems : NO WIFI and no lockers in the room. You have to check your value items at the front desk. | ||

| You should set up the ladders for people. When I got there, I couldn't figure out whether the ladder was supposed to hook to the edge of the top bunk (which didn't make sense because then the steps were tilted) or to the railing (which didn't seem sturdy enough). I ended up climbing up the side of the bed. | ||

| Sinead at the front desk was a great help. She went above and beyond in assisting us on places to go and things to do. She also knew us by name (we were only there 2 nights) on the first day which made us feel extremely comfortable and welcome. | ||
