Limited facilities

According to previous guests the kitchen facilities and other features of the hostel are a little oversold on the website. Reviewers say they only had access to basic kitchen amenities that meant they could not cook properly, while others say there is no real communal area and therefore meeting others is difficult.

Rooms could be better

Some guests felt the state of the rooms was below where they should be, outlining details such as a limited number of electric sockets or uncomfortable mattresses that meant they did not enjoy the best nights' sleep while at the hostel.
