Stayed 2 nights

Its been 10 years since I've stayed at the Bus Hostel, and while I do like the renovations, them not having reception past 4pm and none at all on weekends makes it slightly difficult to check in online. Also considering, that most flights arrive outside of those times makes is a little frustrating. But I called the help line and it was sorted out fairly quickly.

Good cleanness across common areas, especially the combined toilet & washroom. Comfort of bed is fine as a hostel. But need to walk at least 1Km to city center for restaurant.
