Unfortunately we mistook this for a Hotel and not a Hostel considering the price, so were quite shocked when we arrived. The room was very small and the "en-suite" was a cupboard. Of course no facilities in the room. Extremely noisy with people opening and slamming doors until quite late, then during the night the wind came up and made an awful whistling sound and draft through the window, actually knocking off an item left on the window sill. No sleep that night!!

No frills room
A completely average stay. The room was as basic as it gets. Ok if you want to be in and out overnight but do not expect any frills.
