had dirty sheets on my bed, which they didn't change until I asked 3 times (didn't get changed until 7pm after checking in at 2pm). room was overcrowded and had nowhere to put the bag. roommates were very rude and had music playing on phone until 4am. would not recommend this place, even for the price.

Location on Hostlworld is incorrect. Also, when I input the address in Gmaps, it is also in the wrong place. Took me two hours to find the hostel.

Morning We paid a deposit and the place was not up to standard as per the photos on the internet. We had to move the guests to another place. Please can you refund my deposit as we did not use your facility. Regards Chantelle
