It is shared accommodations, and you should pack your own set of bed sheets, blanket cover, and pillow case. Probably better suited to a longer stay. A nice place to meet other travelers. Breakfast was nice. The proprietor is agreeable and welcoming.

Trainspotting movie toilet is real
I paid €30 per night roughly which is cheap but I would exoect the toilet and shower to work. The shower drain would not drain the water away. The whole building needs a refurbishment. It's a dump.

The whole place was very dirty, staff unfriendly, very noisy during the night, no lockers in the room, the shower was just one big room with three showers that everyone just could enter. All in all a terrible experience.

The hostel was nasty. Looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years (probably the case). The facilities were either not working or in poor condition, staff was virtually non-existent. I find it sad how exploitative this property is of the housing crisis. Students with limited financial opportunities will take anything just to have a roof over their head, this hostel takes advantage of that and the price for the quality of the amenities is outright criminal. For me, this doesn’t even hit the bare minimum. The neglect of hygiene from the staff’s part is outrageous and morally questionable, profiting off of poor people and giving a sub-optimal experience in return is not a great attribute to have… I truly hope you’ll do better!

Unbelievable! I contacted the property on the Monday about possibly needing a late check in. The hostel contacted me 30 minutes before arrived at its door to tell me my booking was cancelled and I needed to find another hotel!

Digusting!!!!
This place is filthy!!! Understand that there are no bed sheets provided which is fine. However, they don't even clean up after the last customers check out! I was in the room with 3 other girls and there were around 6-7 beds. All the beds and pillows were dirty and had dust and stain on them. I had to cover myself with my jacket when I lay down. And there is no wifi downstairs. Wifi was accessible upstairs at the reception but not in the room. The kitchen is full of flies. yes, there is free breakfast provided, but they have flies all over them and is absolutely disgusting. The only 'tidy' place was the bathroom, cos one of the girls was staying there for months and was cleaning the bathroom herself. do not recommend at all. if you are looking for a cheap place to stay, id say just go sleep at the train station. at least it is free and cleaner!

It’s a nice no nonsense property. The owner seems to care a lot about her guests. There does seem to be a regular guest named Lynsey who appears to be a prostitute but she is not pushy and adds to the character of the place.

The way hostels used to be: not excessively clean; bring-your-own towel/sheet; not everything functioning; good location; working wifi; super cheap (relatively); and with tons of free food at all times. You can complain all you want, and/or be happy a place like this still exists.

That place isn’t a place for human beings to stay. And there’s a guy there who’s so so so disrespectful and arrogant. I strongly believe he may be abusing strong drags. Funny enough they sent me a mail asking me to bring a bed spread of my own. And the moment a got there, I realised I’m in for a surprise. I left few hours later to go and stay in a train station instead till it’s my time to go to the airport. I can send you a picture or a short video of the room if you want.
