    Very few toilets and showers for the amount of people. Shower only had cold water. Other guests were loud, sleeping was hard (not fault of accommodation). Caught some bed bug bites, things looked clean but seem contaminated.

Vibe Analysis

Set in a former jail, this hostel leans hard into the building's history. The conversion has real character, with shared spaces and a layout that feel unlike a standard backpacker place. Rooms can be small and plain, and the stay can feel cold or noisy at times. The kitchen and common areas are useful, but the mood shifts a lot depending on the room and the time of day.
