The property was great for us as a family. We were busy all day and just needed somewhere to rest our heads and feet from all the walking we did. It would have been nice to have towels provided and being British, we’d have loved a kettle for making our own hot drinks. It was clean and warm, the shower was lovely and powerful, and the staff were accommodating. We were early for check in but they kindly offered us a different room which was ready. They warned that being directly above the bar it maybe noisy, especially as we were staying over the weekend, but it was not a problem for us at all.

Do not stay here if coming with kids!

Terrible experience, definitely not a great place for families, no towels in the room, beds were uncomfortable. Bathroom smelled like piss. This is for sure more of a backpacking trip hostel for college kids.

We had a 14-hour overnight layover and didnt want to sleep at the airport. The hotels by the airport are insanely expensive but the trains run 24/7, so we decided to try this place out. It's quirky and has wonderful artwork/murals all around. It's so centrally located that we were able to absorb a LOT of the local flavor during just a 2 hour morning walk. Will definitely go back there and spend more time.

Maybe it was just by virtue of being in one of shared dormitory rooms, but it was so hot and stuffy that, even with all the windows open, it was difficult to sleep and often woke up dehydrated. The staff were very helpful, though
