Overall, it is a very low value for money! Dirty toilets and bathrooms are outdated and the beds in a state! There is about 15 mins from the Center of the CBD. Fortunately, the staff is friendly and will answer all your questions!

Great location near the trains and buses. Also good for getting to the nearby stadium. Short walk to shops and banks etc. And the free breakfast is a bonus.

Staff were very helpful everyone was quite friendly. Facilities, particularly the bathrooms were in a state of disrepair and were very unclean. Overall for the price I found it reasonable, but improvement would be recommended.

Very very nice and helpfull staff. But the kitchen was really discusting, and the overall cleanliness was poor as well. We only stayed for one night, whick was okay, but glad I didn't have to cook in the kitchen.

The place is extremelu run-down. The kitchen is unaccepatbly dirty and ill-equiped. The bathrooms are dirty aas well. It looks/feels as if the owners are not investing one dollar of their profits in the upkeep of the premises.

Showers need upgrading. Female showers had walls that were rotted through, and toilets were missing toilet seats at some points during the stay. I had booked a private room for 5 people, at one stage a mix up at the front desk sent a very confused girl to our room two times in the middle of the night (at about 11.30pm and again at 12.30pm). My friend and I had to take the girl back downstairs to reception to help find her room, the staff members response was "Oh sorry I mixed up the rooms".

Dirtiest place I have slept. Looked like they hadnt cleaned the bedrooms or the bathrooms for 6 months.

Good location near to the bus station. Unsurprisingly quite rowdy due to where it is, not ideal for me as I had a really early start and so got very little sleep. Old building so noise from corridoor really carries into rooms. No fan or air con - nor windows - so stifingly hot at times. Bathrooms pretty sparse but decent free breakfast, free internet and friendly staff on reception.

Nice staff on rêcpetion, good breakfast and location. Very noisy ás such an old building, doors slamming all night and loud groups coming in from nights out which isn't ideal if you have an early start, but genererally to be ễxpected from a hóstel...

Unfortunately due to lack of cleanliness in the showers and toilet area, plus kitchen - the impression of the hostel is not so good. The staff on the other hand are helpful and welcoming on reception. I stayed only one night the hostel was a convenient bed for the night.
