Suited the purpose of my stay

Suited the purpose of my stay, nice big building, check-in was easy. My only gripe would be, it could be explained more that the address is UPPER Gardiner Street (I made the mistake of looking for it in Lower Gardiner St).

Checking in and out was a breeze, the property was very nice and clean. In walking distance of lots of restaurants, bars, salons, etc. Only complaint was that there were a couple out of order bathrooms and that left me waiting for their availability. I would absolutely stay here again, thanks to the wonderful staff!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was great! Caveat – I think my room was upgraded, since they're doing renovations. Everything was clean and comfortable and I really liked the 'cabin' style bed, really offered privacy. The free breakfast was very basic but, also, free! And it did the job so it's difficult to complain. Only small issue was that due to the renovations there was noise in the morning, starting around 8:30 on a Saturday. Didn't bother me (when else are they going to do the work? Better than it going on at night, imo) but I know some people get upset about this sort of thing.

This was my first stay at a hostel, I was very favorably impressed. The people at the desk were very helpful and well informed. The facilities were great providing space and convience for meal prep, storage and refridgeration. Secure luggage storage, lockers available. Even books to read and guitars to play. Outside eating areas as well as a great dining area. Everything was kept clean.

24hour service which is convenient. But for such an expensive stay (500 euros for 4 nights), we'd have appreciated a slightly more decent breakfast (it was really really terrible). We enjoyed our bedroom, rather comfortable bed although the windows don't close properly and it can get quite noisy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Affordable, great overall environment. Friendly travelers and one of the few places to offer free breakfast at an affordable price to stay. The walk is not too bad to get to the main city area. It states 20-30 mins walking but I found myself doing it in 15-20 mins instead. There are plenty of bathrooms to freely use without feeling like someone is holding a line. The TV room and dining area with the pool table were also nice areas to just relax and hang out. The kitchen to freely use to cook and keep your ingredients in a cubby was very efficient. My one slight issue was that the pillow was too flat and the mattress but it didn't stop me from having a full sleep. Overall great experience. I would do it again in the same place.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer in der 3. Etage. Die Gemeinschaftstoilette ist uralt, keine WC Bürste vorhanden, erst nach Aufforderung, die Dusche ohne Heizung. In den Gemeinschaftsduschen und Toiletten hängt jeweils ein Frotteehandtuch zum Hände trocken. Für alle. Das ist so unhygienisch und absolut kein Standard. In der Küche wird das Geschirr vom Personal per Hand gespült. Da wäre eine professionelle Spülmaschine deutlich effektiver und hygienischer. Der Teppich im Treppenhaus ist mit Flecken übersät und wirkt dadurch sehr unsauber. Das Personal war stets sehr freundlich.
