Alcatraz Backpacker Hostel

Kitchen was huge and had all facilities like oven and good pots. Had free shelfs in the kitchen and in the fridge. You can cook any time easily. I stayed in the 4 person mixed room, the room was very big, has table and chairs, it is easy to be organised. Shower always has hot water.

WiFi availed only on the base floor not in the rooms. In the shower there is no shelf to put soap and other stuffs. In the entrance there is a computer that needs to be updated, it is slow and don’t open some sites as it’s os is ubuntu. The hostel was a little like student dormitory.

The hostel was absolutely clean and had a great charme. We also liked the location, even though we had to walk to the train station.

The bed was a little bit uncomfortable because it was too soft. It's a little bit loud because of other guests.

The atmosphere in the hostel was friendly and relaxed. There was a supermarket and tube station very close by. It was in a lovely area which felt very safe. The bathroom was only shared with one other room.

We were on the fourth floor and there was no lift. Also there was no air conditioning so it was hard to get to sleep at night - this was as expected and we just happened to be staying during unusually hot weather.
