Lonely Planet Review
With its modern design, multistorey capacity, large dorm rooms, and hotel-quality privates, this newcomer is ready to take on all competition. With a location just a stone's throw from the main train station, it looks likely to succeed. And having room service doesn't hurt at all.
You read that right - room service (06:00 - 23:00)! This place takes itself very seriously. There's a service package for Pete's sake in every room to explain the hostel's amenities. These include a very large bar with pool tables, a cafe and restaurant, a huge self-serve kitchen, access to a 24-hour supermarket, a big-screen movie room, a computer room and a travel centre. Dorm rooms have a fresh appeal and are surprisingly large, with upper-floor rooms sporting excellent big-city views. Private rooms come in various sizes and the better of them are hotel quality. As a safety precaution in an operation this size, the hostel has attendants guarding and servicing each floor. Our only complaint is that the wood flooring sags in many rooms. Hopefully this doesn't herald any future structural problems.
