It was okay.

Liked: It was clean for a hostel. Maybe good for group of friends travelling together.
Disliked: It’s not the property but the town, I just didnt expect that the place was really old. The hostel was okay, was clean enough and I guess for groups (with it’s single and bundbeds). We came from Glasgow in a hotel that is £100 cheaper than the amount we spent in this property with the same # of days, that’s why my standard & comparison was a little bit higher. And we felt like the place was a little bit haunted, especially on our last night (this was our personal experience).
