It was okay for a night, but not for longer.Complaints about the shower were not cared for and the staff did absolutely nothing against the noise of the pupils. It went until the early hours of the morning.They seemed to think that to visit Europe means running wild at their most abysmal behaviour. In front of the YH many busses were stopping and "changing the contents of the hostel", so it really looked and felt like a station.

I stayed in this hostel with two other friends at the very beginning of March. It's in a old church reconverted in a big hostel with small dorms of 3-4 beds. There is no curfew, the rooms are clean and with bathroom. The kitchen and the common rooms are really big and the price of 12 pounds (13 if you are not a member ) seem quite reasonable.It's few hundreds metres from the castle and few others from the city center.The staff is a bit cold and they don't show you any of the rooms if you haven't paid before.Don't take,if possible, rooms near the noisy doors for the corridors of each floor.
