Tip-top hostel this. It was so close to being 5 stars, but a few things just made it fall short.
In terms of the rooms, we had a 6 bed private room, very comfy, good shower, good bathroom, although the door was sorta tough to lock. However, the room got very hot, and the air conditioning wasn't remarkably effective. Also, the shower did have a slight pong of sewage. Oh, and as well, the beds have USB ports, but they came from the bed lights, which were directly over your head, so the cable hung down whilst you charged your phone overnight, just a bit of a design oversight.
In terms of the service and entertainment, it's very good there, there is free foosball, and we managed to play free darts and shuffleboard too, although I'm not sure if we were meant to pay. The bar was pretty good, although the alcohol selection was fairly small, and the main one closed very early at like 11.
Location wise, yeah, decent, a short walk from the station, bus stop outside, close to the main attractions, what's not to like?
On the whole, a fun place to stay, we didn't hear much from other rooms whilst we were there, and downstairs had a good bustling but relaxed atmosphere that you'd want from a good ol' hostel. Top stuff.
