Great hostel in a great location. The owner was very friendly and helpful, as was his wife. Very clean and modern. It's a new hostel, hence not that many reviews, but i'd definitely recommend it.

There was a nice atmosphere and the location was great but dorms were very tight and no fan or AC meant sleeping was a struggle.

Great, chilled hostel. Extended twice. Not the most social hostel although there are common areas. Very chilled and the staff are really friendly and helpful. Great location and quirky decor.

Great stay here. Extended twice. Well located, adjoining restaurant was cheap and cheerful, staff super friendly and helpful. Good value for money. Nice, chilled atmosphere.

Amazing pool and the friendliest staff. Rooms are a little dated and damp but are cleaned to a high standard daily. Free breakfast is very good but the downside is the location as it's quite far away from the centre. Regardless of this, I have stayed here on three separate occasions and will keep coming back.

I've been staying in hostels for over a year now and this is up there with my favourites. Great atmosphere, not too expensive for the facilities you're getting, and a real homely feel. The staff are very helpful and friendly but not pushy and the communal areas make for a great, chilled atmosphere. Also, the kitchens are kept super clean which is always a bonus! Would definitely return.

The hostel was clean, comfortable and well located and the staff were lovely and very helpful but it was pretty dead, not a lot going on and not the best environment for a solo traveller.

Staff great, location great, Wi-Fi not great. Good kitchen, rooms aren't too spacious but fine. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a little expensive for being quite average. There was only one bathroom per floor but this wasn't an issue as it was always very clean.

Had a great stay. I liked the privacy in the dorms the to curtains on beds creating own little area. Would stay here again.

Private rooms are very overpriced for what you get. Cleanliness standards are low - I'm not convinced that my room had actually been cleaned before I arrived. The drains in the bathroom smell really bad. The location is good and there's a nice communal area which creates a good atmosphere. Dorms would definitely be better value.

The hostel was clean and cheap but definitely a party hostel so if you value peace and quiet, do not stay here. This is the only hostel I've ever stayed at where I haven't felt comfortable leaving my valuables around. This isn't completely the hostels fault, but the locker under my bed had the doors broken off so this could have been fixed. The staff seemed fine but the place seemed very disorganised.

Great value for money! Staff are helpful, well located. The only thing bringing this hostel down is the lack of cleanliness. I stayed here four nights and had to ask for a fresh towel and wasn't given any fresh sheets. The bathroom was not cleaned properly in four days either which is a problem in a shared dorm. The housekeeping staff were sitting in the hallway on their phone's when they were supposed to be cleaning by the looks of it. Everything else was fab.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your review and your comments. We have taken onboard your comments in regard to our housekeeping team and will be taking direct action in the morning to ensure that their work ethic is improved for the satisfaction of our guests. All the best, CENTRAL Hostel Team

Nice, clean rooms. Quite small if you value privacy. For three girls sharing it wasn't an issue. Although clean, the toilet and shower area smelled damp. There wasn't much of an atmosphere, the pool was more like a puddle than a pool and the hostel was very difficult to find. I found it a little overpriced for what it was but the staff were lovely and the place was well maintained.

Security in this hostel is a big concern. Lockers are available, but staff don't seem to offer this service unless asked. Lockers very small, laptop barely fit. There's no lock on the dorm door and no door or security on main entrance of the site so anyone can walk in and access dorm rooms. Security issues aside, there is a nice vibe to this hostel, especially for solo travellers as common areas make it easy to meet fellow travellers.

The staff at Echo hostel are very helpful & friendly and the location is fab. Things letting the hostel down are the cleanliness (mould growing on shower curtain causing awful damp smell) and lack of communal area. Despite that, I would stay here again.

Great location but also difficult to sleep due to the great location. Wi-Fi isn't available in rooms, only common areas. Staff weren't overly helpful. Attracts a 'party' crowd so expect a lot of noise at all hours.
