This place is a dive. I must admit from the pictures on this website it looks ok but trust -- it looks nothing like that. It is very dirty (there was a blood stain on my wall). Security is a big problem -- there are notices everywhere in the hostel saying that theft is increasing in the hostel and that hostel takes no responsibility for anything stolen from rooms. fair enough, but there are no lockers to put your things in. The door locks but it's one of them ones that you could easily force it back open. Showers are communal but have a lock on the door (very scummy bathrooms and toilets). The woman at reception was unfriendly and quite rude (she kept me standing on the doorstep until I agreed to spend the night there). Paper thin walls -- the person in the next room had a TV on until gone 5 in the morning and I could hear every word. It is very expensive for what you get. Apparently breakfast was included but I wasn't told anything about it. The only good thing is a late check out of 11 o'clock. Use this only as a last resort.
