Independent Report

general
The rooms in this hostel are very basically decorated and furnished to cater for the backpacker market. However, the public areas are very modern and geared towards young 18-35 year-old travellers. There is an excellent lively bar in the hostel which serves cheap drinks every night. No guests are allowed in this hostel under 18 years of age. 04.2012 DO
lobby
The lobby is small, decorated in an extraordinary futuristic style with an abundance of chrome and coloured lights with an eye catching silver statue of a robot in the centre.
exterior
The building used to be a police residential building, relatively featureless architecturally, in red brick.
restaurant
The restaurant is on the ground floor and is decorated in the same style as the rest of the hostel, with polished silver tables and plenty of exposed metal work. The hostel also benefits from a lively bar, game rooms with a pool table and game machines.
