I was placed in the Gallery Bed #3. It was directly beside the bathroom and the entrance. It was a "sleepless night" when I desperately needed some rest.

Noisy inside and out. Can hear everything in the halls and others rooms, including the people coming and going at all hours. Some renovations seem to be done at cheap levels. Some staff seemed to be annoyed to be doing their work.

I stayed in a bunk bed private room for 2 people. The room was small but clean. The bathroom is shared with other guests although I seldom saw anyone during my 2 night stay. It is close to city center. It also provides simple Continental breakfast. Storing luggage will charge you eight euros. It was an ok stay.

This was an excellent property for anyone looking for a short stay on a budget All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I did have to rent a locker for luggage as I arrived well before check in time due to planned activities on the day but for €8 there are convenient and safe lockers available. And at this time I was allowed access to the property’s WiFi and common areas to prepare. All common areas were well maintained with a spacious self serve kitchen area, with an attached indoor dining area, plus outdoor seating and access to a small laundry. The room I had chosen was as described and clean and safe with plenty of power points and a lockable cupboard for each bed and although some of the shared bathroom facilities were showing their age you could see they were regularly checked and maintained. With an 11am checkout there was also ample time in the morning to refresh and grab a light continental breakfast before departure. I would recommend and wish to thank the staff for all their hospitality and diligent work

Disappointing - lack of facilities and storage

I hate leaving bad reviews, especially when I think the intentions are good, but .... it seems that they have upgraded the hostel without actually testing it out. And there is so much that doesn't work. There was one toilet on the 3rd floor for about 30 people. That is abysmal for a modern hostel. And the toilet wasn't even in good condition. The top bunks have no shelf, ledge, any sort of place to put things like phone, glasses, etc, during the night. So simple yet so stupid to leave out and makes it really inconvenient. What are you supposed to do with your phone, glasses, once you get into bed?? There is one central bright light in dorm rooms, no smaller lights for if someone comes in late or gets up early. Again, so simple to add. It's like they forgot to ask backpackers what is needed in a backpacking hostel. There is no elevator to the 3rd floor. It stops at the 2nd. And the elevator is tiny anyways so you probably will end up walking most of the time. They are high ceiling floors, so going up to 3rd floor from garden level is like walking up 8 flights of stairs. On plus side, lovely garden area. But overall, such a shame - some small changes would make such a big difference. But for now, you will be far more comfortable in other hostels.
