The staff was absolutely amazing. Rooms were clean, however, fans provided were full of dust. One thing I didn't like and know they don't provide shower gel or soap in shower room. Fans needed to be adjusted but it was a struggle since the adjustment didn't work and had to resort to creative ways.

Very pleased with this hostel especially for the price. Had a private room with friends with an ensuite, the room and bathroom were clean and the hostel felt modern and very safe. The bed wasn’t the comfiest and we had some noise early in the morning from another group on our floor, but for the price I’m still very impressed.

Cheap, functional, clean.

Convenient and clean. Bunk beds are fine but mattresses a bit thin and if you’re tall a bar across the end is a pain. Other than that it’s a cheap functional room.

Family of six - spent one night. Very clean, safe and quiet. Absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful staff, from the front desk to the kitchen workers. Flexible policies, allow you to store luggage for hours before and after checking in. Bus right across the street. This was a pleasant surprise!!!

The ensuite shower and toilet do have any shelves for toiletries. Imagine having 6 of us placing our toiletries on the floor whilst we shower. Likewise for the toilet where we have only the space around the sink for toothbrushes, toothpaste and what not.
