Friendly staff, close to quiet tube station but still super close to Camden markets. Bed was super comfy with plug ins, a privacy curtain, 2 pillows and a big blanket. Was kinda empty/quiet but I think travel is still a bit quiet in general these days. Would definitely stay again

Very nice place, everything is new. Super clean and the breakfast is the best I've ever seen anywhere. My main complaint is they bought the super cheap ikea bunk bed frames. The creak when someone breaths on them. Otherwise vet nice. Would stay again

Nice hostel, pretty close to the port. Gorge was a great friendly host. Happy to give us helpful tips since the island was slowly in the midst of shutting down for the season. Would stay again forsure, gotta go back to check out his "legendary bbq"

Fantastic hostel. Killer location, huge building with lots of great places to chill. Lots of character, facilities are great. Need to refresh some of the crockery.100% need more fridge space, it's almost comical trying to find somewhere to put your food. Would and will stay here again.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Chilled out relaxing vibe during the day, great party at night with crazy cheap happy hour. Ultra comfy beds, but no ladders to the top bunks...... Close to the shop and beach. Will be back 100% and most likely will only stay here over Amsterdam from now on. Thanks Jos for making such a cool place.

I like the location near the park. Away from the chaos in the centre. Chilled out vibe and nice staff. Drinks are steep prices. Definitely will stay here again

This hostel is moving in two weeks to a new building so my review isn't relevant for very long. Super chilled out atmosphere creaky beds, dirty showers but the location and staff helped make up for this. Despite the negatives, I had such a great time and would stay again. Also they are moving so the facilities I imagine will improve.

Good all around hostel. Common area was not enough space for how many people stay in the hostel. Rooftop terrace is awesome! for 42 euro maybe real eggs in the morning instead of powdered ones.... a hard sell with the big price but I would stay here again

Dont think its possible for this place to be cleaner. Quiet cute place. Wifi is lvl 10 good. There's a strange crossbar on the top bunks that makes them awkward to get in and out of. The common room feels like your at home. Lovely place, totally stay again!

Good - Massive common room and kitchen, Big spacious rooms, good location, with good parking. Friendly enough staff. Bad - Bunk beds were poorly designed and the lower bunk has no headroom at all. Not enough showers on the main floor. Closed the common room even though there was only 2 of us chatting... Cleaner was cleaning the toilets in the morning when everyone needs to use them... Has some strange scheduling. All said would totally stay again!!

Good - Price, close to a bunch of bars and restaurants. Big kitchen, free breakfast! Real breakfast! Bad - Typical cheap creaky beds, lots of people just using it as cheap housing, way out of the center of town. Wifi was Australia fast. Ventalation is in serious need of upgrading, and showers still need more work.

Amazing hostel Their motto is so true, "one night isn't enough" If I had to nitpick they could maybe have wifi everywhere, but the common room is so awesome it makes it insignificant. Breakfast price was a bit steep for pancakes....

Thanks for the amazing review...we agree: One Night Is Not Enough! We get where you're coming from in regards to the Free WiFi however, we still prefer to leave the upstairs for sleeping and the downstairs common areas for everything fun :)

Good - Right downtown, had a bar, big kitchen, cinema room was sweet. Bad - Wifi didn' work everywhere, room was overcrowded, cheap squeaky bunks (common problem) Biggest issue was the staff, lack of continuity. Told about the bar deal and then later had to argue with the bartender. Didn't get proper check in info, had no idea the cinema room existed. Two different staff were extremely unhelpful when we asked for parking assistance once before arriving and again on arrival. Would not stay again

Nice hostel with a decent vibe. Its a shame that the kitchen area is the only large communal space. Too bad the cinema room wasn't working but the staff did say it was going to be fixed... The breakfast for charity was an awesome idea. Bed was really comfortable, only the shower didn't have good enough ventilation which made it smell very musty. Small minor issues, would totally stay again.

Great Hostel! SUPER SAFE! Travelers concerned about Jamaica can rest at ease with the security gate and security staff on hand at all times, Reggae was secure. Nice rooms, decent bathrooms, loved the courtyard and that I could paint on the wall. Staff were friendly and super helpful. Couple small things, the bed frames in the 2nd room i stayed in were INSANELY creaky. If either person moved at all it creaked. Kitchen is in need of more cups, dishes, crockery. One small fridge for alot of people.

Decent hostel, only stayed for one night. Definetly geared towards groups. Nice big kitchen, activites all the time, had a bar but was completely empty despite the hostel being pretty busy. Big open courtyard, big room, smelly bathroom but best of all located very central in the old town!

I worked in a hostel for over a year and have stayed in 54 hostels in the last 2 years. A hostel with great potential but in need of better houskeeping. Shower stopped working after taking forever to get hot. No staff attention until I asked to pay the next day. Decent location with a nice little cafe, but maintenace, housekeeping and general organization are all in dire need. Did not think it was worth saving $10

Great hostel, close to the station and situated right in the city center. very clean and a nice lounge area, thought the downstairs lounge would make a great bar. Nice showers but too far from the room, up and down a flight of stairs and into another section of the building. Only 2 plugins for a room of 12 people. Always a battle to recharge stuff. Definetly would stay here again

Great location, nice spacious hostel. And without the staff we wouldnt have been able to go skiing since the ski resorts website was wrong. Big help :) Just a little too expensive, compared to the competition. We stayed in another hostel just as well located for almost half the price. Sort the price and give it a little more character and it would be a top hostel!

Great new hostel very close to the train station, dont bother to take the bus just walk! Its only 10-15 minutes. NEEDS SIGNAGE!! we found the location quickly but wernt sure if we were in the right place and because we were early no one was waiting for us. Even though we were at the hostel we ended up going into the shop downstairs and asking someone. Very clean, nice hot showers, free washing and water filter were great bonuses! I see a bright future for this hostel!
