Don't go there When I first arrived I thought maybe I am over staying in backpackers as I was shocked by the place, but once I moved hostels I knew it's just not a good place. the rooms are tiny, there is no space for your luggage, almost no light in the rooms, there is only one bathroom for the entire downstairs that's cold and run down, the staff is super unfriendly (apart from Gerry the caretaker, he is very nice), everything is old and rundown, the kitchen is filthy and poorly equipped.
Rules are very strict and you feel like you are fourteen again. Plus you are located on a large street.
