Happy hour 6 till 7pm. £2.50 for Stella. Great music. Hostel let down by outdated equipment and broken fixtures and fittings.People in the dorm can arrive at any time even at 2am. So good nite sleep never quaranteed. Dorm was cold and floor space full of suitcases and shoes. Dorm mopped every day and staff changed bedding for new guests. People pee on toilet seats so anti bac wipes are advised. Hand basins were cracked. Coin operated washing machind and dryer located in smoking area.
