One of the best hostels I've stayed in. The environment was really welcoming & friendly. A great atmosphere, and many different 'spaces' to chill- Outside seating, bar & reception sofas, dining tables & 'booths', pool table & sofas, & TV room with couches. Everything about this hostel just worked, it was set up and managed extremely well. The dorms were spacious with comfortable beds & thick linen provided. Storage facilities & security. Large communal kitchen. Amazing helpful staff.

The hostel with the best vibe and atmosphere I’ve ever stayed in, with plenty of evening activities, lots of communal spaces, and brilliant staff. One slight downside: clearly not enough space in the kitchen, either for guests or for storing our food. And the fridges don’t seem to be in the best condition (my food went off just as quickly as if I hadn’t put it in the fridge).

This hostel is for the seasoned traveller who doesn’t care about cleanliness or hygiene. The sheets I and my sister received were stained with unknowable substances and the whole property had an overall putrid stank. Neither of us could sleep during our stay through the smell or the roommate who snored like a broken road train. A lot of effort seems to go into their social events and attempts to have a social vibe. If only more effort was put into the upkeep and cleanliness of the place.

+ Close to the Main Street. Just for sleeping then the share room will be great, but not with big luggage.

- The sound proofing isn’t good, will hear the sounds from downstairs if you live at the room around the stairs.

Terrible laundry, sick people everywhere in the hostel… Even though the staff clean the common areas (kitchen, sofa, etc.) regularly, it’s still super dirty. Food left out with name tags still gets stolen by others. What a terrible experience. NEVER AGAIN.

- The 1 night cost was only just fair it is predominately a back packer's affordable accommodation and thats just fine but for a 1 night double bedroom charge rate with very limited room facilities was a bit rich.

Das ganze Hostel stickt und hat bereits an einigen Stellen Schimmel. Zudem läuft 24/7 der Fernsehe auf voller Lautstärke.
