This hostel was great! The staff was so friendly and helped us switch rooms to all Female which helped so much. Overall it was pretty clean. The shower leaked onto the floor which made it hard for 6 girls to shower but overall it was a great place to stay. Super close to cute shops, bars, and also very close to the bus station which was so nice.

Great location to town and bus top. But that and the wee pool outside was the only real positive. The bathroom had a bad odour, which lingered my whole stay. At the end of my stay I realised it was bedbugs biting me in the night not mosquitoes. Would not go back.

Absolutely no soundproofing. No idea if the noise was from the common room or upstairs, but one night it sounded like either an argument or a very committed drinking session (even earplugs couldn’t save me) Top bunks is also right next to other people’s heads, so snoring is unavoidable. And then unfortunately there were bed bugs I got eaten alive, as did my friends. Beds were comfy and the location was convenient, right by a bus stop. Not particularly social.
