perfect location , super clean and I loved the kitchen , the living room upstairs is cosy too, and it was lovely sleeping in a warm hostel for once. Would definitely stay here again! And it's true the shower curtain really can flood the bathroom if you don't put it inside the tray people! One of the nicest hostels I'm stayed in this year!

Amazing hostel! The staff were as welcoming and bubbly as the colourful decor! Even remembered our names straight away & even when we returned for another night. Rooms are big and super clean and your never out of choice for bathrooms, there's loads! Free soup , free breakfast & free wifi. What more can I say! Home away from home x

Amazing hostel, good vibe, very friendly staff and the wifi was GOOOOD. Lady on reception is so nice too , very welcoming. Soup also delicious and the free breakfast is a great idea. Never seen such a clean hostel in my life, maintenance/manager guy fixed our radiator within 10 minutes and introduced himself perfectly when entering the female dorm. Honestly couldn't fault it in the slightest. Also 10 mins walk from glow worms tracks!! Plenty of fridge space too!! Always a bonus.

Sorry to say but this is probably the worst hostel I've stayed in and I've stayed in LOTS.We were showed to a filthy room which long timers had taken over and it smelt of stale beer & smoke.There was no kitchen space and the fridges were full of spilt mouldy milk and stale food.No room for any food.Also we were told that night guy would refund deposit for key,but he was no where to be found & we lost $20. NEVER AGAIN.Only decent thing about this place is Sam on reception!Also why no cups?

Can't fault this place, lovely homely house, cool vibrant but only thing that was a shame is that there wasn't a lot of showers for the amount of people who were in the outter house. But, the place felt too much like home to care!

Some awesome comments - thanks so much. We do have another shower block in Manor House for everyone to use - we do plan to upgrade the bathroom facilities in Tonkinson House over the winter. I'm so glad you felt at home here!

Can't fault anything in this hostel accept the distance from the city centre, but tbh i think it's more for the beach time. Either way was great here and the hot chocolate in the cafe is amazing. cool cafe to chill in downstairs too X

Best hostel ever! Met some amazing people and the lounge is awesome. It's got a great atmosphere to it and the choc pudding was delicious. Receptions staff are super nice & very welcoming. I'll definately be staying again when on the way back up from Deep South. Sorry to say I did have two helpings of Choc cake though! #sorrynotsorry

Amazing place, I was in the cabin at the back and the wifi was probably the best wifi I've ever had. Guy on reception was cool, not as cool as the dog though. Deffo book here ! Even had our own kitchen and showers in the house/cabin. View of dolphins out the kitchen Windows whilst washing the pots. What more can you ask for ! 10/10

So peaceful & such a friendly vibe, plenty of communal space and showers were so hot! Great area and about 5 minute walk from the ferry. Wifi is free and is fast! Staff are lovely too

Right in the city centre, 10 minute walk to sea front & 15 minutes from oriental bay. The room was spotless and also bedding was super fresh. Friendly atmosphere and cheap wifi, $4.00 per night. Free meals were good & also right next door to a cheap bar. Only complaint is that the pancake mixture is way to thick, but hey I'm English & we eat crepe type pancakes. Definately : 10/10

Hi there, cheers for the review. We are stoked to see that you enjoyed your stay. Your comment on the pancake mix has been duly noted. I would agree with you on this one, but the thickness of our pancake mix is a eternal argument among the team. We do hope you make it back to the capital in the future. Saoirse General Manager
