Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: As always the facilities were excellent, you can buy alchoholic drinks on an evening from the reception. The location was excellent.
Negative: I find hostels a bit noisy to stay in, as they attract younger people who run excitedly up and down the corridor when you're trying to sleep. This is no reflection on the hostel, just the type of people who stay there.
Summary: Amazing location
