Be careful when booking accommodation her via booking.com. I have booked with them, came, spent night but after booking.com send me an email that my stay was marked as non-showed so I need to pay them and now they are trying to charge my card again and again. So these guys tries to avoid paying booking.com fees and can create a lot of inconveniences to you

This was my first hostel experience and it would have been fine, except that on my last day I got woken up by bedbug bites. I suffered bed bug allergies all over my body the rest of my vacation which was very inconvinient. Also, the bathrooms stink. Plus side though was the staff and location. Overall nope, I won't be booking there again.

I originally booked for two nights in a shared room with 3 people. I had to leave after the first night.||The hostel is clean and really hostels should only be judged on that criteria. …

Ended up staying here as an emergency. It’s a decent hostel in a good location with a pub downstairs and secure storage facilities.It did get a bit noisy while the football was on and in the night but nothing unusual for this type of hostel.Rooms are clean, comfortable and airy. Shower and toilet areas are reasonably clean. On the whole a good place to stay.

My partner and I booked this hostel and arrived to find the bunks infested with bed bugs. The staff refused to switch us to another room or book us alternative lodgings, leaving us in a bind at 11pm. Save yourself the trouble and find a more sanitary location.
