4.0 star ratingVery clean, warm, friendly, good value for money, great location in city centre, has more of a hotel feel than a hostel, comfy bedsBasic breakfast for price, cold plates so food only lukewarm, because it's so new it feels a bit 'IKEA-ish' -not much atmosphere like other hostels I've stayed in02 December 2008

5.0 star ratingI was so impressed with the cleanliness and size of the rooms. Bedding was super-clean, not a spec of dirt in site. I've never stayed in a hostel before and was a bit aprehensive, but i thought it was great. Brilliant location, decent size rooms, great price. All in all a great experience.NoneLaura S19 May 2009

4.5 star ratingvery clean , freindly staff, good food, excelent value for money26 December 2009
4.5 star ratingThe bar was a beautiful place to unwind and relax - large,spacious and sociable. Bar was stocked with good and inexpensive drinks. Cleanliness, energy-saving efforts much appreciated. We did not regret our choice. Great place on the whole!Food quality could be improved. Breakfast seemed a bit overprices, while the 6-item restriction was a bit complicated at first go. It also started late on some days. Free (or less expensive) wifi in rooms will be appreciated - or atleast have wifi use on a by hour basis rather than a flat rate for a single day.
