Absolutely filthy and the rooms are so cramped and small. It feels like prisoners have access to better lodging than this.

Hostel B47 is ideally positioned centrally near to the main shopping area and not far from bus station. Also it is only a five minute walk from the Halgrims church which has a very high tower. Easy to find your way back to the Hostel as the tower makes a good marker.
