The hostel staff were lovely. Really nice guy that runs the bar and showed us around the building. The room was as expected for a hostel. There was a large pile of milk powder on the floor and dust over the table and kettle etc. Overall, its a hostel and you get what you pay for. Its in a great location, they have live music, nice atmosphere and the staff are nice. Work on points would be to improve on cleanliness.

Obviously staying at a backpackers you don’t expect anything much even if you do go for a private room, however I felt totally cheated paying £76 to this accommodation!!!! The room clearly hadn’t been cleaned for some time; there was a film of dust on the wonky bedside light, the carpet that clearly used to be there was now just wooden floor boards (maybe a blessing considering level of cleanliness), the surfaces of the bedside table and desk were very sticky, the supplied mugs and glasses were stuck to the surface and revealed dirty rims and stains inside and the glasses were also sticky. The toilet had poo stains so clearly hadn’t been cleaned from previous person, for the shower you had to press for water every 15 seconds, soap at sink had run out and the advertised double bed was actually 2 singles pushed together so had to keep to one side or would have had the gap to sleep in!!! Though I’m just glad considering the state of the room that I had clean bedsheets and towels! I’m guessing the other rooms on the top floor don’t have en suite toilets as during the night there was a fair bit of opening and closing doors. Woman at check in was friendly although was a little confusing at first if I was at the right place as not very clear but at check out had to wait a little while as nobody was there at the bar which at half 9 when check out is at 10 is not the best time. I did not have the free continental breakfast considering the level of cleanliness of the room.
