It was not great at all, the door was open all night so it was so cold. The place is dirty and the dorm are so tiny. I wouldnt like to stay more than a night. But its cheap.

This place is a right joke. I love a good dive-y skanky hostel here and there but this place is for morons. You could tell by the people vainly attempting to run the place and the people staying there. I could feel the brain cells being leeched from within my skull. Don't stay here if you value your sanity or positively buoyant serotonin levels.

This is a very dirty hostel with very dirty disgusting back packers living in there the staff are no better and they even help other backpackers steal things like your laptop. They couldnt even be bothered to call the police or help report it stolen

The Room was to small to store the luggage and had not been cleaned for weeks. The garden stunk and looked like an ashtray. The kitchen was bad equipped. Some staff was unfriendly and unmotivated.

It's like staying in a younger brother's messy bedroom, no space for your luggage and everything on top of everything. Overcrowded, dirty, not good value for money. I found a place in the city for the same price which was considerably better. Avoid Planet Inn unless you enjoy discomfort.

It's a good place to start but not to stay a long time because it's a bit crowdy. The airport picking up was very nice. The free breakfast as well. Also there is some good deal in the evening with the clubs around. It was globaly good to stay there for few days.

Disgusting place!!rooms are filthy and never get cleaned,not even a bin!fan doesn't work so the room are one big sweat box!no key given to lock doors so anyone is free to walk in and take your belongings!kitchen is practically always dirty!bathrooms average!NEVER anyone at reception!found out on my last day that the free breakfast is hidden in reception.why?! NO info given at check in!only bonus is the free wifi but I'd rather pay for wifi in a clean hostel!

We refused to stay in this hostel due to a variety of negative reasons, ended up getting a credit note to the value of our 3 nights stay. We gave it to a homeless person as a present the other day as that is the standard of this hostel. ( No offence to homeless people)

this place is a mess, worst hostel ive been in so far, dirty and the staff are not helpful at all. Far away from the city. The room looked like a dump. They say its a 24h hours reception..ha, when i got there at 11am it was a note on the door, "be back at 1pm" when the clock turned 2pm they opened. Seems like the owner do what they want and dont care about the people staying there. Do not recommend this place.

Beds are terrible, the hostel is incredibly disorganised - no one ever knew what bed was free or if there was even space in the room. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.
