unfriendly staffdirty room

I found the staff were not particularly friendly. The room also wasn't very clean, to my dismay. Honestly, I have stayed in cleaner hostels. Plus, the banging throughout the building at night made a good night's sleep impossible. What a joke.

Breakfast had excellent options and tasted good. The price was comparable to other breakfast options in the town. This made it a reasonable choice. There was sufficient seating in the breakfast area.
