The best things are it's cheap price, helpful staff, and beautiful setting. On the down side the University is a huge campus with no transport across, you basically have to walk across it, say 20 minutes from the Uni bus station to the hall of residence that is the hostel. Also the University is about 40 minutes away from the city centre, but the walk and the bus journey were worth it for the beauty and quietude of the place which is close to pacific ocean and wreck beach

the place was overall what you would expect! it’s basically just a university dorm converted into a hotel room, the room is pretty big in of itself you get towels and small shampoo, soap, and, conditioners. you get two pillows and the comforter. there is a lot of room to store your stuff around as well. though there is no ac which is stated i found that the room didn’t get that hot. the location is not bad as well, its about 10ish min walk to the bus stop and there is a little grocery store nearby that’s open. lots of stuff to see around the campus, and the dorms are a very close but steep walk down to wreak beach! pretty good stay two nights!

The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were clean. The bathroom had 4 showers but 2 of them had disgusting black stuff covering the floors. Didnt go in to investigate further. The kitchen was well equipt and clean. The laundry was well maintained and clean. The only downside was our room smelt of stale urine.

The place was quite decent for the price and the surrounding area very quiet in the summer. Not only it was the most affordable I could find but with the short time I had to book they still had rooms available. The room overall was quite clean, no issues there. My main thing was that the main stairs smelled like urine. Also, the shower stalls could use at least one more hook to put towel and other items while one is showering. Staff were very friendly and quite helpful.
