Weak Wi-Fi in rooms
Dozens of reviews state that the Wi-Fi offered by this hostel does not reach much further than the reception area. Many guests find it frustrating to not have Wi-Fi in their rooms despite this being advertised, and instead have to venture to the reception area to get online.

Noisy environment and thin walls
The property is often said to have very thin walls and generally very poorly soundproofed. Many guests comment upon the amount of noise coming from neighbouring rooms and the street outside, stating that this can be very disruptive particularly in the night time.

Poor quality kitchens
Guests regularly point out the kitchens to be of a poor quality with missing fittings and a number of broken utensils.
