Definitely exceeded our expectations. Although its is a cozy beaten up hostel, with shared bathroom/WC and kitchen, we felt like we were home. Meadows Park is nearby, we could walk pretty much everywhere. Reception/crew was not engaging much. Nonetheless, great value for money.

Its a budget hostel, so no complaints. I needed a cheap room to stay in/go back too after clubbing until 3am. I had a single bedroom which was through behind the kitchen. Nice and quiet, clean bedding, and warm enough. Carpet could do with a good hoover though ! I would use again for the same purpose.

Arrived after the desk was closed and got our keys out of the lock box (labeled with my name and room number). Someone else was in our room already. Nobody ever responded to our calls to the emergency needs phone number after leaving 3 voicemails over an hours time. Took our money and had no room.

Internet did not work reliably, shower water heater on top floor was broken so we had cold showers. I told the staff lady but it didn't get fixed. Very noisy floorboards, Windows didn't fully close and neither did the blinds so it was very bright at night. Stained carpets, uncomfortable beds, musty bedding. Overpriced, not value for money at all.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Probably best hostel we’ve stayed in. Staff were super friendly and helpful (Tanika in particular). Had 2 kitchens and multiple bathrooms which was nice. Area is far away enough to be peaceful but not too far that you can still easily walk anywhere.

I know this is a budget option but the place is just dirty and falling apart. Staff are nice but I was dependent on helpful other guests to get me in and sorted. So old and musty in the rooms and my room was only accessible through a communal kitchen.

Rooms in different buildings. Ok and not too expensive for one or two night. Toilet was leaking in the stairs. You are young and don't really care how everything looks 'cause you are not going be around very much anyway? If yes, it's gonna be perfect.

They were not prepared for our stay but made arrangements in a short period of time. The property is old and well used but is clean. Hot water (or even warm), however, was non-existant on the third floor. Note there are are all shared bathrooms in rhis place. We missed this bit of info in the description so were shocked!!
