hostel rooms are spacious and kept clean. I have never stayed In a hostel that didn't have at least a fridge for guests to use and a common room for eating until now though and was dissapointed by this. I found this rather odd, and the reason I was given was they had an on site restaurant. Most people travelling don't want to eat out for every meal. Having some home comforts is appreciated. The common room didn't allow you to bring drinks or food of your own either which made it hard to eat if you get in late and your roommates are sleeping.
the on site restaurant had good music on the weekend. everyone was friendly. would come back again if there was a kitchen/fridge.
