Good location, good price only real issues were just trying to find it when the address takes you just into the middle o
Pros:

Close to city centre, late check in and clean

Cons:

No clear signs for the hostel, not really a negative but more weird that we were told we have to make our own beds which wasn’t really stated anywhere as we wanted to head straight back out.
