Great location in town, can walk everywhere and luckily just far enough away from the clubs and noisy pubs. Basic rooms, good for a quick stay.

Cold, windowless, cell-like room lacking a proper heater. There was a power cut in the middle of the night which the staff were unable or unwilling (or both) to fix. That aside, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Fantastic accommodation! Great rooms, facilities and atmosphere (feels like a true hostel). Excellent location and the $5.00 chilli is a hit - highly reccommend staying here.

Central location and the staff were really helpful and friendly. The kitchen was pretty gross and dirty though...
