Clean room, but no cooking facilities or private parking.
Room was spacious and clean. Location for our was perfect.
There was no kitchen in the hostel for us to cook in and that was not clearly mentioned (normally hostels have cooking facilities). The bed was also very noisy and they did not have private parking (but a parking lot was near by where we had the car).

Décevant, pas à la hauteur des services backpackers
Les lits étaient confortables.
Accueil succinct, les toilettes de notre étage ne fonctionnaient pas, pas de cuisine ni même un espace pour faire sa vaisselle. Il n'y avait pas d'endroit où se poser pour manger en dehors de la chambre pour manger son propre repas.

Disappointing
- location - restaurant
- room at the 4th floor (no elevator) - no toilet or sink available at 4th (for more than a month by reading other reviews) - showers only at the -1 floor - no toilet paper in most of the toilets

Great atmosphere and location.
Location and the pub offered local gluten free bier and had loads of interesting people. Free parking on the street, right in front of the hostel.
Should have women room only.

Great location and that’s about it
Best thing about the hostel was its location.
We booked a deluxe double room and were let down by what was offered, even when accounting for the fact it was a hostel. The bathroom on our floor was broken and the showers were down five flights of stairs in the basement. The food in the restaurant was overpriced and underwhelming. It was nosy at night because of the attached bar/lobby. Would not stay there again.

Very poor
Rarely have I seen bathrooms so incredibly dirty. During the 3 days I stayed there, the showers were not cleaned once, and were just plainly extremely dirty and disgusting. In addition the toilets on the top floor were not working (probably for a very long time now). For the price of the hostel this is unacceptable, and extremely disrespectful towards the paying guests. The owners and personnel should be ashamed of themselves, clearly taking advantage of the lack of alternative accommodation in the area.
