There was nothing really wrong with New Excelsior -- it was an ok place to stay in a decent location. It was a bit cold though, particularly in the toilets in the night.

Our room was noisy and dirty and it was difficult to sleep due to the itching.

Nice hostel, with a very friendly staff and cool sun deck. But try to avoid the 12-bed dorm, which is separate from the rest of the building and accessed through it's own door onto the street.
