Mikado Hostel just moved into a new building, directly across from the old one, a month ago. The interior is brand new, and all the beds and linens seem like they just came out of the box. They are all from Ikea, so they definitely came out of boxes. It is very clean, almost sterile in fact. The staff is very nice, and they all speak English very well. There is a large kitchen that guests can use, but no lounge space that we saw. We never went upstairs, so it may have been up there. There is wifi available, but the signal is a little weak downstairs, where our room was.
The hostel is centrally located, so once you have actually found it, it is easy to get to. Most of the sites are nearby as well. The directions online are not very helpful however, and finding it the first time can be a bit difficult.
They do have a few things to tweak, but I'm sure they will fix them in time. The wallpaper contains fiberglass, which is something you don't think about until your guests all get a rash from touching it. Emily woke up with a small rash on her back from sleeping against the wall. They also need to put bath mats in the shower, because Richard almost fell. They also haven't sorted out the keys. They don't give a key to the front door, which is always locked, and they couldn't find the key to our room. The hostel is very nice, but I would give them a few months to figure things out before staying there again.
