Boomerang Hostel

Hostel is poorly signed and the access system is not the friendliest. Staff on arrival didn’t seem to care that I had booked a twin room and instead gave me a bunk in a dorm room and explained the dorm would be empty. They were very helpful explaining where to go locally and places to eat! Sadly the night staff were not as helpful she invited her friends over who all sat just outside my room drinking wine, laughing and talking until 04:00hrs! This was despite their being a night staff statlffroom away from the dorm rooms? My room was clean and there was loads of room. Bedding was standard European so if you like a pillow bring your own. There were large lockers that you are provided a key for that accompany your bed. My room had no curtain so the building opposite with its lights on all night makes it a very bright room for those of us who like sleeping in the dark. No privacy curtains around the bunk ether.., Toilets are located outside the kitchen which is a little awkward and with a window in the door (frosted) can be a tad embarrassing for those taking a number 2! Shower was clean but very basic. I had plenty of hot water... Breakfast was included but again very basic choice of cereals or bread and spread! The free tea and coffee is a nice touch but for brits this is fruit tea not what you get at home so bring your own PG tips Best thing about this hostel for me was it’s location! Walking distance to everything for me but I do like a good walk!!

Boris was amazing at the front desk !
