The staff were fantastic, really helpful and friendly. But it was quite noisy at night which made it difficult to get a good sleep

Very happy with our stay here, staff were friendly and hostel was clean. Free wifi was also really good. The only problem for me was that no one seemed to lock the door to the room, as it does not lock automatically. Free lockers are provided however, which makes this less of a problem. Good location as well.

A great place to stay in! Friendly n helpful staff, good facilities except WiFi coverage not reaching rooms n kitchen area (we had to run now n then to common areas to catch WiFi), kitchen was spacious n well-maintained, the hostel offered a range of activities with great discounts for its visitors, didnt really like unisex shared bathrooms, but the good thing was those bathrooms were kept relatively clean! In overall, a good value for money!
