the hostel doesn’t look new but I see eveey morning there is constant cleaning of the hallway.
Wouldn’t recommend staying here, unless you are happy to party all night and stay in less than ideal rooms. The room was dirty, there was fecal matter on the walls and stains everywhere. There was an open grate above the door which meant we heard everything, and they put us opposite the lounges so there was noises, loud thumping music and yelling all night.

If you are looking for a budget trip, it would be a great idea and lots of restaurants nearby. However, it is quite noisy during midnight and weekends (pub street).
Staffs are so helpful and nice.
Great location ... pubs, eateries. Noise lasted well into evening, but it was a Saturday night. Really nice place. Bathroom/shower were good.

Britannia on William is pretty good for a backpackers. Just make sure that you bring earplugs (if you actually want any sleep), because it's very noisy.
I only planned to stay one night, but it was so comfortable that I ended up staying a week. It's conveniently located near the station, and the staff are kind. The large kitchen makes it easy to interact with other residents. I had a comfortable stay, like being part of a family.
Food street/ pubs right next door. Bathrooms a bit average but staff were awesome and helpful. Some rooms have long term guests that can be a bit messy but not bad if passing through.
