When we first arrived, noone was there, but we could walk right in since the door was almost always open. The guy working that morning got up an hour after opening hour, and could at first not find our reservation. He was very rude and unfriendly. Other staffmembers were nice though. The kitchen is poorly equipped and small. Location is very good.

The Staff here are very good especially Harrison the Aussie! Gets everyone involved and is a wealth of information for whatever you might need. Clean and tidy and I've stayed again and extended and do recommend.

Basic hostel in a good location. Was easy to meet others and very good value for money. The pillows weren't that comfortable. Overall I would recommend it.

The staff was very no happy to help me. There is no place on the kitchen (only two hobs for 30 people, very not enough). Only three bathrooms (with a little water).

Showers need to be cleaner! Other than that, this is a good hostel. Nothing more, nothing less. Bedbugs were being chased away the while I was there, so that problem should be solved! The bad reviews are due to other owners. Everything seems to be a lot better since the current staff took over. Thanks for a nice stay, guys!

A good stay for your money. I asked the owner about previous poor reviews on hostel world and he said it was because of a previously owner who was letting it slide. The current owner seems to have put some work into it. It is a basic hostel without a bar but does have a kitchen with stove, fridge, ect along with a tv / hang out room and dining room. Great location and a good place to stay if you're are just looking for a safe and enjoyable stay.
