Nice location
Nice staff
Terrible showers. Such low water pressure for eco reasons. But it was so low I couldn't properly wash my hair.

There is everything you might need from the hostel - clean toilets and showers, a well-equipped kitchen, central location just off Princess Street. Our private room was nice and clean.
The hostel on the third and fourth floors with no elevator. If you're travelling with heavy luggage, you will get some free fitness. To be fair, there is a warning about that when you're booking the room.

the location was amazing!
-showers didn’t work properly - you either has crazy warm water or freezing cold
- beds were super loud, which for shared room is annoying
- my friend got bitten by bedbugs

Great hostel, very central, but quiet. Placed in the old historic building. I loved the kitchen facilities and all dorms looked tidy and clean. Perfect location.
It would be good if beds have curtains, so it gives more privacy and you don't disturb people with light on.
Thank you for your information!
