Great facilities and location but with more popular hostels comes less tailored service. Some organised activities but lacked a friendly family quality. Still a great stay. 8/10 would recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I asked to change three rooms and have never done that before in any hostel. One room had bad roommates (not the hostel's fault) then the second room was essentially inside the train station. There is a second building which backs immediately onto the station. You can imagine the noise from the doors beeping incessantly from 4/5am every morning. All the toilet and shower pods were full of long hair and were not that clean. Staff were very good and accommodating. The location is great. The four-bed female dorm with en-suite was decent, although tiny, but the other two rooms I tried weren't very good. The hostel doesn't feel designed for travellers, but people may find it OK for a night.

Extremely helpful and friendly front desk! Rooms were perfect, bathrooms / toilets were kept clean, excellent location close to everything (I didn't even have to take public transit!). The only con is the common areas aren't big enough or nice enough given the number of people the hostel.

Great location, friendly staff, good selection of bunk/room options & optional breakfast. Only 2 toilets/showers for many bunks. Clean from first glance, but dirty walls in bunks & bathroom floors.
