Terrible wifi as well. I have fairly low standards, I’ve stayed in many hostels. I’d rate it higher if the price was a bit lower, felt it was a bit overpriced for the cleanliness, noise, wifi etc

Aidan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Great location. Pretty poorly maintained and noisy at night despite their signs saying "strictly no noise after 11pm". The toilets were gross. And there's a reason it's called the maze, the labrinth of hallways to find your room and toilet are astonishing. Worse when a toilet is closed for cleaning so you need to walk a marathon to releive yourself.
