Liked: Staff & service
The location is good and close to many sights. It's a cheap stay which obviously is the point, however rooms are quite run down and there was mold and damp on the ceiling, that was so close to me as I was lucky to get the top bunk. Breakfast was basic, but overall good. Staff was helpful, especially the younger boy serving the breakfast buffet.
