Mixed Experiences
I could not put any better title to this tip, because I indeed do have mixed feelings about my stay in this hostel.
It is quite a large hostel, but I still liked it because it is a quirky building with a lot of stairs, small floors and hidden corners, so it never felt that big to me. Staff were very friendly, there is free wifi even in the rooms, and the free breakfast was quite good. The location is also convenient: It is not directly in the city centre, in a very quiet area, but the walk to the centre is only about five to ten minutes, a taxi from the bus and train station to the hostel is only £5.
On the other hand, the first room I stayed in was really terrible. The beds were very creeky and made a noise every time somebody turned - not good if you are a light sleeper and don't have ear plugs (which didn't apply to me, but to other people in my room). The sheets were clean, but very, very old. The bathrooms were also very old and were not cleaned frequently.
The second room I stayed in was much better, with new beds, lockers and a cupboard (the first room did not have any furniture), but still there was the problem that I did not like those old and a bit dirty bathrooms.
