Stayed in 8 bed dorm which couldnt fault. In fact for a dorm its been our best yet. But the kitchen was disgusting. Hardly any plates and cutlery and if you were lucky to find any they were dirty. Never stayed in such a dirty place which is such a shame for hostel. Need to employ staff to clean up after the dirty residents who seem to use facilites and not clean up after themselves

Staff was great, the building is just beautiful. The large kitchen was appreciated by all. A couple of the beds I slept in were really noisy with lot of creaking noises each time you move slightly which kept me up a bit. Otherwise it was a great experience. Keep up the good work.

Hi Scott! Thanks for taking the time to comments about the hostel, maybe we need to get the oil can out on those sqeaky beds! :) We hope to see you again in the future! Cheers, Mel

Love the atmosphera in this hostel. Good location with excellent price (free wifi!). Staffs are very friendly. I just recognize Molly as I dealt with her over the phone as I arrived after 8pm, she sent everything to me by SMS to ensure that I will be able to enter into the hostel upon the door locked. I checked out after 2 days to stay with my friend but I was having problem to get to the airport, she was kind enough to reply me even though I'm no longer the customer. THANKS!!!

one of the best hostels i have ever stayed! very clean, though some lousy residents do not wash their dishes after use. excellent washroom, spacious, clean, well-lit. the interior design is like a art gallery. the rate is not expensive for getting this high standard of accommodation.

On;y stayed one night, bu the place is quite nice. Linen is extra charge, but I had a sleeping bag, so I didn't really mind. Conveniently located near the Cataract gorge and close to supermarket. Overall, a nice place. Staff was friendly, room and bathrooms clean, etc.
