Good

Liked: location was great
Disliked: the way other room guests just leave their items sprawled over the floor close to their bed but immediately below or around the ladder to the upper bunk. Lockers are provided but some guests are "reluctant" to get them as it requires a £10 deposit - even though you get it back upon check-out...yes, deposit is refunded but still not everyone takes it and prefer to leave their bags, clothes, shoues scattered around the place and ladder. So inconsiderate, so I took absolute pleasure in kicking their stuff further away so that I had a clear passage when coming down the ladder and also walkig to my locker

Nice price, but you don’t...

Liked: The hostel was in a great, central location. I wasn’t expecting that due to the low prices! The staff was friendly and they hosted a lot of events.
Disliked: The American dorm-like toilets and showers. There was nowhere to put your clothes when you showered, so I always felt dirty or wet when I got dressed after my shower. There wasn’t enough locker space to put bigger bags inside, and there wasn’t a secure luggage storage.
