I have stayed in cheaper, nicer, cleaner youth hostels. This was the worst possible experience imaginable. We won't list everything, because we would surely run out of space. The rooms were digustingly dirty, the carpets were filthy with fag butts on our bedroom floor. The rooms don't have tv, phones or internet connection. The staff are rude, decietful and totally unhelpful. The room was up 38 vertical steps - no lift, no porter! The bedlinen and towels were dirty, ripped and had fag burns in. There was no air, the room was boiling hot and very noisy (you could hear the buzzer, voices, keys turning all day/night). There was no wardrobe, only a coat hook, no towels except hand towels (until we asked at reception).
We complained, asked for a refund and we were told "no". We asked to speak to a manager and were told "no".
Do not, under any circumstances (no matter how cheap your budget) stay here - there are some really reasonable, very clean and friendly youth hostels......
