Only problem I found with this hostel was the clientele, lots of 40+ year olds staying in the hostel and dorms, which makes the atmosphere lacking, and meeting other younger travellers harder. However the staff were amazing and super helpful and the self catering kitchen was great and super equipped!

I was very happy with my stay. Peter at the desk was especially kind and informative. Very clean. Excellent location, close to the train station and main drag.
