Our room was spacious and very clean. The staff are outstanding. They are helpful and hard working to make the hostel homely. The kitchen was well resourced and clean. Facilities were great with plenty of spaces to chill . The location is outstanding for walking everywhere with a supermarket and restaurants nearby. We loved staying here.

There's a rule not to use the kitchen between 23:00 - 07:00. But some guest may didn't know. Not sure the staff has been acknowledged or not.

The room was very small and stuffy, there was only space for the bunks and a shelving unit/cupboard which was broken so I was not able to secure my belongings. It was a little inconvenient with the stairs and the location of the amenities, but otherwise it was a nice place and certainly perfect for backpackers. The male who served me was very nice & friendly.

It's located on very steep street. Bathroom and bedroom was clean. Window hinge was broken and I couldn't close window properly and cold air was coming in. My room was located by the door to go down stairs, so it was noisy. But very handy location and fit for my purpose.

I want to say I loved my stay, but because the property was in the midst of painting the walls on our floor, it was not great. Lots of noise (at 4am from the kitchen by our room), lots of dust and paint fumes, tripping hazards where tarp had come up. Yeah, not great. BUT, of the four front desk people we talked to three were absolute stars. Very helpful. Very friendly. I think I'll come back to see what the renovation does for the place. It's got good bones and great people and it's in a really convenient location. I'll be back.

Great price for an easy stay. Lovely place the staffs are very friendly and all the guests are friendly and polite, the place is tidy and safe. We had the private ensuite room, small but offered everything we needed. It was a little bit noisy as the room is near laundry and kitchen but we were good sleepers so no border. Definitely recommend it.

Incredibly helpful and genuine staff who were always happy to help - very knowledgeable about the area and always on hand to answer questions. Nice schedule of events each evening (which isnt for me but was again very welcome and i can really see how some guests would really appreciate it. Slight disparity of kitchen facilities available when comparing ground floor to others. Cant be helped though - i imagine things get moved all the time. All in all, a great stay for the price for which you do get more than you pay for in terms of assistance and a nice communal hub
