We loved the location, we liked the room and the staff, only the bathroom wasn't so clean.

The location is excellent - handy for walking everywhere. The on-site parking is also good. The place had a cosy welcoming feel. We will definitely stay again.

I had a great stay at Aquarius. I upgraded to the studio room which was a loft style private room which was very nice. Both staff and the other lodgers were incredibly social. I participated in the 4:45am lighthouse tour and the ping pong tournament both of which were really well attended (and free!) Traveling solo it was awesome to meet some new people at the hostel!

Unfortunately a lot of the parking area was closed for the one night I was there, so had to park on the street and feed a meter until 6pm as it was only one hour parking.
The info on the place stated no noise after 11.00pm, but I heard yelling and screaming regularly throughout the night, mostly from the girls who were probably "over refreshed" from the bar or coming back from a night out!
Granted, I'm in my 60s and probably don't cope with that too well nowadays. It was deathly silent in the morning at 7am when I got up, and no wonder! Still, a nice enough place with lovely staff and facilities

Great location, friendly staff, very social hostel. I stayed in a private room which was clean. Very social atmosphere. They hosted game nights and other events which was fun. Only downside is that the walls were a bit thin so you could head noise from people partying.

The ceiling fan barely worked so it was incredibly hot trying to sleep, incredibly hot! I ended up getting up and soaking my shirt with water to try and sleep. Super noisy constantly getting woken up by people shouting, even the security shouting that someone spewed in the dorm and he had to clean it up. I am all for partying and having a good time so it’s not really their fault there’s just no soundproofing.

Nice hotel and friendly staff. Sadly the room was damp and not at all good for anyone suffering from asthma or toxic mold allergy’s. I would recommend it to people in good health but sadly for me I have both these health issues and I was unwell from the room having damp and mold inside it.
The room was lovely and spacious.

very good location, but because it is a backpacker stay - it was pretty loud at night. Though would be great for people looking for parties.
