Breakfast menu was excellent. Nice rooms and a fully equipped kitchen. Restroom/Washroom was well maintained with large enough space for necessary ablutions.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at - Kinlay just gets so many things right! Dorm beds are comfortable with privacy curtains, light, power socket and USB. Showers are very good, with hooks for hanging items and shower gel provided. And finally a hostel that doesn’t charge or require a deposit for towels - fantastic! There is a large and pleasant communal area, with a pool table and piano. The kitchen is large and has everything you need, plus there are lots of fridges and freezers. Free tea, coffee and some fruit is available 24/7 which is just brilliant, and there are even some free daily afternoon biscuits. The free breakfast is very good. The hostel is very clean throughout with everything well-maintained. WiFi is excellent. Staff are very friendly and super helpful. Note that Kinlay Hostel is operated by the same people as Snoozles Hostel, which is also superb. I strongly recommend both.
