The hostel is a little bit disappointing, if I’m honest.
Pros:
-very clean bathrooms
-amazing hot shower
-location
-free locker (deposit required)
-keyless
-free coffee pods and water
The biggest downside is the sleeping pods. They are incredibly squeaky and flimsy, every more you make makes a ton of sound. What does not help is the fact the rooms are pretty much empty apart from the pods, so there is virtually zero sound dampening. I kid you not, but laying in the pod I could hear stomach rumbling of the person in a pod above me. It was very weird and awkward. If you or someone is snoring/coughing- you’re done. The nights were not very sleepless. Additionally, no charging ports worked in my pod and I had to use the kitchen
Other cons:
-towels and sheets are cleaned, but they are overused. Although washed, they have old stains and are generally worn out
If you’re looking for a social hostel - this is not it. There aren’t any common areas (apart from small backyard and kitchen, which are always empty) and the hostel does not facilitate any activities
If only the pods were a bit more convenient and a tiny bit more soundproof, it would be much better, but this issue really outweighed lots of positives for me
Really helpful and understandable staff. Gave me a hand with the heavy luggage upstairs. Though the Trip booking made a mistake, the staff gave me a well welcome, especially in the late night arriving. By the way, the shelf by the bunk do need to be cleaned since it was with lots of dust.

ゲゲストBlack mold in the shower and very responsive room. Not very good ventilation at all in the room BUT it was cozy at the same time. Shower, toilet and a bed. All the things you need for a trip to the capital. Kennedys served a banger of a burger and a very nice Guinness.
