This hostel is very modern, with card keys for the doors, Internet access, and new furniture. The rooms range from doubles to six person dorms. The larger rooms have sinks in the rooms. The prices are quite reasonable, as little as $12 per person in the larger rooms. For all guests, free showers and toilets are in the hall, but you have to bring your own towel.

I have stayed here on a few occasions, and have found different members of the staff to be more friendly and helpful than others. On the worst occasion, I checked in with a friend, but we had made separate reservations. Her name was not on the list, and the employee was initially very unhelpful and rude. Eventually, though, we ended up in the same room and everything was fine. Other experiences have been much more positive.

The room itself was small with two twin beds. The bathroom was located in the hall and I give the shower pressure two thumbs up.

The annoying part was the strict 10am-4pm lockout. There was one day, we felt like we were going to freeze to death outside and couldn''t come in. The doors lock automatically and you are unable to get in until exactly 4pm. They don''t seem to clean the rooms during the day so I''m not sure what purpose the lockout serves. Make sure you don''t forget anything in your room, you won''t be able to get back in.

You will find a lot of school groups and younger people stay here and often it is pretty noisy when you are trying to sleep.

The breakfast in the morning was cereal and bread, your typical hostel breakfast, which was fine. There is a TV room combination bar area downstairs.

The location is good and central, within walking distance to most sights.
This is one of those weigh the pros and cons kind of place but like I said before it was $30!
