I was really impressed with the overall quality of the hostel. Being as cheap as it is, I was concerned the facilities wouldn't be that great. However, my expectations were greatly exceeded! Thanks for everything!

The staff are all really great. There is a huge kitchen and balcony that overlooks Longstreet, plus a nice sized courtyard. The rooms are small and have only one outlet for charging electronics, the bathroom is not super exceptional either. You have to request blankets, that are huge wool things that clearly they can't wash. But it's a great place to meet people and its in a great location. I did stay at another hostel on long street though, which was alot cheaper and was was alot nicer.

I booked a single room. I feel there should be at least a fan in the room.
