The first impression is the most important and it decided for my good opinion. The girl at the front desk (Velta) is very nice and with a smile on her face told me all about the hostel, showed me a room and all facilities. I stayed in a cheapest dorm room (15 beds), but I felt very convinient with comfortable linen and quiet guests. Most of them were using that room only for sleep puproses what I really liked and because of that I was more sure none of my wothless belongings could be stolen. The hostel offers lockers, but you've got to have your own padlock (if you don't want to overprice for the ones they offer). Ground floor (the bar) is nicely adorned, part for hostel guests is clearly separated from public area, the hostel itself is a quite place, I felt safe there. Staff were very helpful when I wanted to reach certain places, there not only gave me directions but also were happy to show me on their computer the map with actual place's localization.
What I loved the most in the hostel was localization. It is just 30 minutes walk from my job, that's why I so much regret I couldn't stay there longer than two weeks. They have plenty of showers in a very good condition, I never had to wait in a queue. There's many guests in the hostel so sometimes the floors are wet, but the staff are doing their best to keep it clean and tidy. They deserve some kind of award of cleanliness ;)
There is no real kitchen in that hostel but they have kettle and microwave oven so you can make your porridge for the breakfast and maybe sandwiches for the lunch. I wish they could have a toaster for everyday use, because bread in UK is a crap to be honest (even wholemeal is not a wholemeal bread). If you're too lazy to buy cereals and milk you can use buffet for 1.50 gbp which is not that bad if you have money to spend. They have not only bunch of cereals but also toasts with cheese or jam but of course no eggs :( (why not boil them in the kettle? hehehe).
Okay, enough of it. For me this hostel is great and I trulely recommend it to y'all. I spent there very nice time and if it would be possible I'd stay there longer. Great people, great localization and comfortable, soft and warm linen. Keep it up guys! Jesteście kochani!
