During my stay, I had a very serious safety incident – I found a needle inside the blanket in my bed, which pricked me on the leg and hand. Staff helped to disinfect my hand and took the report, but this kind of issue should never happen in a hostel. Safety and cleanliness procedures must be reviewed immediately.

I wasn't there long enough to experience the place but it seemed clean, quiet and the washrooms were clean. Had to leave for an early morning flight. It took me less than 10 minutes to get to the airport so thagtg was aplus for me.

The place was filthy not to mention the blankets every thing looked like a pig styl, haybo the kitchen sies. Couldn't even go to the bathroom coz wow. The so called receptionist don't even think she knew what she was doing. The noise at night sounded like I was sleeping at the Tarven. In the morning the staff knocked and buldge in looking for some item in the room that I was sleeping in couldn't believe it. The was no respect at all. Don't think that is guest house

Consider avoiding this hostel primarily due to its location in an unsafe area. Despite the friendly staff, the outdated building and uncomfortable bed may not make for a pleasant stay, and the noise in the room could be disruptive.

The staff was very friendly that was certainly not the problem. But the building is so outdated, it really needs a makeover. Our room felt very damp, the mattresses were more than worn out, the sheets didn't smell fresh,... we really didn't feel comfortable and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The staff really made all the attempt to make us comfortable. They help us in anything they could. The hostel was comfortable, it was possible to cook and to have a shower. There was also a beautiful garden which we coudn't use because my boyfriend is a wheelchair user, but I saw it and it was beautiful. I am not sure if the area is safe but we felt really good. Not load shedding there, which is extremely handy.
