Great service and enjoyed the restaurant

This hostel is a bit more expensive than others in the area, but the individual pods were private and kept the noise to a minimum in the dorm, They do get hot but the hostel offers fans to use at no charge, although it takes up your only USB plug. The ladder for the top bunk was tough to use, and I almost fell a couple times. Bed is more comfortable than other hostels. There is a 13 euro buffet breakfast which looked good with lots of options, but no kitchen in the hostel, and their common space is next to the bar area and is very loud and busy. There is a chillout room which has a kettle and microwave, but it is a windowless room with a few tables. Paid laundry and luggage storage on-site. They do have bed-assigned lockers in the dorms that are electronic combination, which is convenient. The staff are hit and miss - if you are nice to them they are nice to you, but they often look worn out and frustrated. The bar downstairs was very popular in the evenings with the younger crowd singing karaoke.
