Well located, not far from the river and shopping etc. It is a bit of a maze which isnt a huge problem but it would help to have signs to the bathrooms. You end up wandering round hoping to bump into them! Kitchen and living room very spacious and a nice communal balcony. Very big problem with the cooker as two rings were very broken in that you couldn't be sure if it would collapse under a pan. Granted, there was a sign saying to not use them but if you didn't read English, you may have has a big probably (it was being replaced the morning i left however. It's more a point about how to overcome the problem). Did the job but did seem a little soulless

Probably the best condition backpacker I've stayed in. Good location only half a mile from centre and blundell park. Facilities were in good order at all times. Only criticism was that my room was never cleaned in the time I stayed.
