The rooms were tiny, I guess it’s what you pay for. But also no elevators so if you’ve got a lot of luggage or heavy luggage, Goodluck to you. Staff at check in was great though, he was super helpful. Would never stay there with a kid again though, but could be alright for a solo stay where all you need to do is sleep there

There’s budget and then there’s hostel budget and this is the later. We have paid the same price at a premier inn before and it was 5star compared to this. We arrived off a 32 hour journey with two large cases, plus 4 pieces of carry on to be told there was no lift and we were on the 2nd floor. We were told we could just leave luggage downstairs instead of taking to our room but declined this offer. The room was incredibly basic but we were only there two nights before moving on so could suffer it for that time. After the flight we both wanted showered so grabbed towels to find one covered in blood…we went downstairs to get towels changed and came back up to room. We then checked bed sheets to find them stained with blood too. At 2am we then had to get a full bed change but the whole place felt dirty as we felt if you can’t be bothered to change bedding and towels then nothing else would’ve been cleaned either. Was also a pain to find and in middle of the night felt a bit dangerous walking up dark area behind road to get to hotel.
