Good

Bru Bar was okay as just a place to sleep. It was not a social hostel and the common areas were lacking. The staff was busy running the bar downstairs and didn’t pay much attention to the hostel. It is central to town which is a perk.

A good stay, not my favorite of my hostels from the trip but it certainly did the job. The building was dated but the room was clean enough. I didn’t find it to be particularly social but I managed to meet a few people traveling solo nonetheless. Staff was great

Well situated, close to bus stop (and railway station) . Safe area with shops, convenience store and restaurants in street. Clean, neat accommodation, although obviously the rooms are a bit cramped - not bad for a hostel. Essentials provided, everything worked well. No fault of the hostel, but major roadworks underway in the street at the moment, which for some reason are conducted at night creating an horrific amount of noise. Trust this will be completed soon.
