Self-Catering Kitchen is not Sufficient
The kitchen caters to the needs of travellers and allows everyone to cook on their own, but sometimes if there is rush or many families are staying, then the space may be a bit cramped.
negative:
Plumbing Issues with Shower
Many guests reported that the shower had issues. Sometimes the shower would not turn off or it was blocked or the water pressure was poor, which made the bathing experience a little poor.
negative:
Basic Facilities
Though mentioned on the website, some guests found the facilities to be basic and a bit outdated. The hostel needs a revamp, according to a few guests. However, many guests and children loved the old world charm of this building and secret passages.
