Sohostel

The staff were pleasant enough. The bathroom was spacious with a good shower. The hostel was clean with good quality bed linen. Apart from some late night building work going on outside, it was quiet. It was perfectly adequate for a brief stay.

My dormitory was on the 4th floor and the lift was out of order. The bunk bed was shaky and creaked whenever there was movement - also it was difficult to get in and out of the top bunk due to poor design. The breakfast was limited and not of a high standard.

Very helpful staff at reception. 24 hour reception and left luggage. Rooms located close to shared toilets and showers with no availability issues for either

The walls were very thin (I had an unused door with gaps around it close to my head) and my room was located next to a busy corridor with two fire doors that were banging constantly all through the night, and with noisy guests having loud conversations in the hallway. It was loud even with earplugs in. The hostel should consider adding something to keep doors quieter, and asking guests to observe better etiquette.
