  : They offer free breakfast and are situated in a great area. The building itself is an old mansion and is well-maintained. Common areas are kept clean and organized.
  : Unfortunately, I was bitten by bed bugs. The room was extremely messy, but that is not the hostel's fault; guests should be tidier. One thing that bothered me was the absence of enough mugs/glasses for guests; I had to purchase one to have something to drink from.

  : I liked that people working there were helpful and even when our room wasn't waiting for us they offered us a luggage store and tea or coffee for free. And after a short time our room was ready.It was also very helpful that the place is near the public transport - we loved it!
  : In the evening it was loud there, because our room was near the common area and dining room. But it wasn't too bad and I fell asleep quickly.

  : The location is good and the bed are quite comfy. Having free breakfast everyday and free meal 3 times per week is a good bonus.
  : Super noisy even until very late in the night. Nobody is stopping people to make lot of noises, music etc..hard to sleep well.Also kitchen and bathroom are quite dirty.

  : Excellent location. Friendly staff. Cheap. Mattress itself was comfortable. Ladder in your head was not.
  : Private rooms were directly adjacent to common areas so we were kept awake at 4am by other visitors talking in the courtyard. Doors and walls paper thin so very thing could be heard. Street level at the windows so could also hear every sound in the alleyway including people walking around. Dirty room. Fan only partially worked. Fridge noisy. Bed had a ladder right where your head is so you would bang your head. Hot water only for a bout 10 minutes before turning cold. Light coming in through wi does at street level even with blinds down. I've stayed at a lot of back packers in Australia and this was the worst. I know it's a back packer so didn't expect much but this did not even meet minimum standards.
