Great place to stay. Helpful staff and great location in the city. Can be a little loud at night, but that's a given from most hostels.

Really nice little place, kitchen is a little dated but fairly well equipped, though could use a baking tray or two for pizzas. Owners were fantastic, thank you for telling me where I could get my backpack repaired! Lifesavers.

This hostel is at a great location. The staff are great and helps you out when you need something like a shuttle bus to airport at 4am in the morning. The room is clean but can be a little smelly. We stayed in twin share which has 2 bunk beds, would be good if they have 2 single beds. The lounge room is at the end of the corridor and sound proof, which is a plus when you want a good night sleep. Kitchen and bathrooms are fairly clean. Overall, a good hostel and good price also.

The hostel staff lost our booking so we were unable to stay in the room we had booked. Also, the rooms smelled very badly like mold.

Unfortunately the premises is on top of a pub which on Sat nights likes to play a juke box til 3am...then other guests like to have loud conversations in the corridors...not very pleasant...having said that...the (double) room was (old) but tidy and the bed was very clean etc...

I had a fantastic time here. It is right in the middle of town with some great bars nearby. The staff are so friendly, the lovely old man who works there really looked after me. Can highly recommend staying here.

Loved the hot showers and deck. Hostel is well situated - across the road from the really cool bar Cartel.
