Three night stay in private room

We stayed for three nights in a private room. Private room with en-suite was a good size and air con worked well.The hostel was well looked after and the staff were really helpful. The bed was not that comfortable and made a really loud noise with even the smallest movement. The place was being cleaned constantly, the only thing was that there was a stain on the sheets. Great location only five minutes walk to everything.
