    It would've been nice if the blackout curtains actually blacked out the light because it is light nearly 24 hours a day this time of year. Also the beds were very very wobbly if you had the top bunk when you climb up it feels like the bed might tip over. Also some of the outlets in our room did not work, but they got someone in the fix it in 2 days.

    I liked how comfortable the mattress was an that there were big windows. The bedding was also clean and very comfortable as well. The kitchen was well equipped and even had some Tupperware to put leftovers in. I found the communal space very welcoming and the couch to be a comfy place to hang with fellow travelers.

    Good location, nice hostel, but some caveats

    The kitchen is only open certain hours - if you are a morning person or have an early departure etc you may not be able to access it at all! Access to the second floor is by a single elevator ONLY. If it stops working you won't be able to get to your room :/ Room doors are also noisy so try and get a bed away from the doors.

    Great location, multiple kitchens, nice staff

    The bathroom was a bit shaby… the shower didnt have any shelfs or hangers to put your stuff in. The shower door didnt close and the bathroom light didn’t switch off.

    Room was very hot the size of the fan and opening windows were too small for the area of the room and 6 guests. Shower water smelled of the sulphur from the hot springs but not a deal breaker

    Location was good. for the bus station and shopping areas. Kitchen was a good size, well equipped and very clean. Plenty of showers and toilets. Room was a decent size. Clean bedding. Sufficient charging points for devices. Reception staff helpful.

    Entrance at the front of the property instead of having to walk the whole way around.

    Excellent location and reasonably priced! Big kitchen available to cook your own meals, lockers available for free and plenty of showers and toilets around the facility!

    Communal kitchen was not very efficient. Unpleasant smell from the restaurant kitchen due to bad ventilation probably.

    Using door codes on arrival is faffy and I'm not sure why you can't just walk into reception like most hostels. The whole building has a weird ex-hospital vibe (it used to be a hospital) but as a hostel it does the job.

    Spacious room. A good range of help yourself breakfast choices. Great location for walking everywhere.

    Clean, affordable but needs some fixing up and attention to how bookings are done

    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

    We booked 2 beds together and we were allocated into 2 separate rooms. We had to complain to be together in the same room and we had to insist a lot. At the end we got a very tiny room with 2 bunk beds. The room was very small for 4 people. Luckily we were always a maximum of 3 people. Literally there was no space for another luggage. In the hostel there was no room to lock the luggage, only small safes in the corridor were available. There was no room to store clothes and not enough hangers. Moreover, one bathroom did not lock and unfortunately some rooms did not even lock.

    The hotel was very clean and bathrooms were continuously cleaned. There were lots of showers and toilets. The temperature was good. The hostel was very quiet and the people were very respectful. The common kitchen was well equipped and clean. The dining rooms were very spacious. Mirrors were everywhere and there were small safes for small valuable items. The location was very central.

    I was staying in a dorm so there was a bit of noise in the night, people coming in an out (totally expected that) but next time travelling I would go for a double room, then it would be 10/10

    Excellent location, close to the centre and next door to a very excellent swimming pool. Very friendly staff and nice kitchen area to cook.
