Kitchen was clean, not much space in kitchen or seating area for eating but overall was good. Close to a bus stop and Rome street station. Bit of a walk to the ferry terminals but nice vibe

Good times. Sometimes the atmosphere needs a bit of livening up but everyone’s social enough.

Lovely hostel, a bit out of the city but only a short walk in or to the train station. Rooms and communal areas were clean and the food is a lovely place to sit of an evening.
