"客室は清潔でベッドもセミダブルの大きさが良かったです。キッチン、洗濯機、乾燥機も清潔でとても使いやすかったです。 近くに大きなスーパーもありとても便利です。 浴室は日本人には少し使いにくいです。トイレと浴室は分けてもらえると嬉しいですね。脱衣所も欲しいです。 週末は下のライブハウスがとても賑やかです。好きな人には良いですが静かに眠りたい人には不向きかな。夜中の2時頃まで音がきこえます。 バスもたくさん走っているのでとても便利です。"

8.4 out of 10, Very good, (15)
"The hostel is cosy and social. It’s not a party hostel, but people do socialise in the kitchen. The beds are the drawback here - they are rickety and every time someone moves in their bed, you can hear the springs. Also my bed moved every time the guy in the top bunk rolled around. I’m 193cm and couldn’t stretch out in the bed. Difficult to sleep. If you value your sleep, find another place. "
