Best for backpackers and solo travelers.

For solo traveller like me, the facilities, mostly everything was good. I like the pantry the most and the shared toilets and bathrooms were clean at anytime. This place is quiet. The halal fast food shops, the Muslim friendly shop, even Tesco are just walking distance.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checked in and out again within 30 minutes. Entrance was unwelcoming and untidy, “reception “ was a back office / junk tip. Room was small, dark and windows dirty, and insecure. Right next to smoking area. Someone was outside talking loudly on their phone - conversation not particularly savoury. Kitchen less than clean . No shower on ground floor, where room was, and ground floor toilet had a laundry / cleaning product pile in the area before the loo. Upstairs ( dirty stair carpet) loo was clean but toilet paper has to be put in the bin so even the plumbing was substandard. Didn’t feel safe so checked out. Have since repeatedly emailed to request refund ( have asked for one day , not both) but have had no response. Will phone and then Dispute the payment with my credit company. Staff member very pleasant but unable to explain where nearest tram stop was or how to call a taxi. Shocking. I’ve stayed in back pockets and hostels all over the world and this is absolutely the worst I’ve been to. Don’t waste your money

Avoid

The whole place felt grimy, in with everything worn down and stains all.on the carpet. Not a tourist hostel, more of a half way house. Good.location near the tram stop and some free breakfast, but one of the worst.places I've ever stayed.

Had to be switched to another room due to loud heating pipe in room 1, but switch couldn't happen until the next day so I couldn't sleep the first night. Staff was prompt and helpful though. Be aware, this hostel is up a very steep hill which makes it tricky for those with lower mobility. The bed I was in was also quite firm so wasn't comfortable for me since I have joint issues. Bed was also right next to a radiator so it was very dehydrating for me. Otherwise it was a good spot, spent 4 nights
