It's obviously a budget option catering to backpackers and younger workers, but it's clean, friendly and central. There's a bit of demand on the shared bathrooms, but nothing you wouldn't expect from accommodation of this type. I would happily stay again.

The stay was completely no fuss. Good view over the town and walking distance to all local attractions. TV ( only free to air - but, you don't go there for the TV) Heat pump in the room - all you need.

I was on the lower floor and every step a person makes on the floor above it feels like the celing is going to cave in. The walls are extremely thin. Everything in the room was nice and the room smelt nice. The bathrooms were as dirty/clean as the person that previously used them.
