Very close to airport with free pick ups and drop offs Essentially part of a family home with Rob and his family being very welcoming. Good for stop over but not much else to do there

In need of a lot of repair - toilet and taps leaking. Service good, staff friendly and helpful. Could be a bit cleaner. Convenient location near airport. (booking made for my mum)

Airport pick up is free, but dorms are a bit more expensive than with other hostels. Rob is very nice and the children are cute. Good for a short stopover when flying the next day.
