Hostels usually can get pretty noisy and this one is no exception. Guests have difficulty sleeping when there are very loud parties going on until the early hours. They advise you to choose an upstairs room for a bit more peace.
If you're lucky the breakfast you are served up each morning is the same day after day. If you're not so fortunate and get down a little bit late, you might not get anything at all! Guests complain that the quality is poor and the provisions are not restocked, so there is often very little, if anything, left if you don't get down straight away.
Guests think that by reserving a private room, they'll have a better standard of accommodation. This doesn't seem to be the case. Many complain of poor decoration, infrequent cleaning and not being able to get Wi-Fi.
