have stayed in a number of hostels, this was the first one that had neither a mirror to look in or a sink, or even a socket to charge my phone. Hostel and room were very clean tho and ideally located, in it was not too far from main area.

Worth the price, free tea and coffee in the kitchen. Only thing I missed was chargers next to the beds
