Ok overall, but could definitely...

Liked: Large and well-equipped kitchen, lots of communal space, friendly staff, on-site vending machine.
Disliked: This hostel takes advantage of no competition in the vicinity, so charges a lot without providing much. Not enough sockets in the dorms, no individual lights, took me a while to figure out the shower. The most important thing - not a decent drying room after you get drenched in the rain outside! They suggested a small room with a boiler, but it was not really warm and none of my things dried there. The heaters only turn on in the evening.

Pleasant

Liked: Warm water in the shower
Disliked: Very small rooms, no place to dry wet clothes or to simply hang a jacket.

Lovely place to stay

Liked: Lovely atmosphere, comfortable room, shower

Liked: I had a wonderful stay! I especially appreciated the staff. I was having issues figuring out my leap card as an international visitor, and the woman at the front desk took the time to try and help.
