Clean room with my own shower and a huge window to open. I think this property has so much potential but it’s lacking the right management and amenities. hostels should provide towels and free breakfast as we are struggling young adults trying to stay somewhere safe and clean. I was very happy with the room though so I’d like to stay again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
While the staff was helpful, the property was not very well maintained and there were little to no amenities. The light in the bathroom was out, there was visible dirt in the rooms, the bathrooms smelled of mildew, and you have to pay five pound to rent a bath towel. Overall, not terrible for the price, but very minor adjustments could greatly improve the quality of the stay.
