Nice place for short stay!

The location is perfect. It gets noisy at night because of the bars downstairs, but the staff informed me about this when I booked, so I came prepared with earplugs. Yes, the facilities are quite small, but everything is conveniently on the same floor. Additionally, they consider to travelers with thoughtful features like comfy beds, air conditioning in the rooms, towels, and secure keys. 👍

There is not much space to sit outside.

Amazing value for money. Beds so comfortable will stay again!!!

Amazing bed. The room was comfortable and cosy. The showers didn’t have the best pressure considering it was in town, but the atmosphere of the place more than made up for this. The staff were helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back to stay again.

Chris was so friendly and he even gave us a mini tour around his place.

It’s just right at the city centre. Very accessible.

The guy working was friendly and awesome. The location is top notch as long as you have earplugs!

We'd booked a 4 person mixed dorm but we were lumped into a weird 5 person room

Good Stay

Hostel in the downtown area, however as it was a Sunday, parking was free and also there was no loud music from the bar next door, 😊 The female only dorm was clean with en suite facilities

The kitchen was a little untidy, but I'm sure this is the fault of some of the guests, who don't follow rules. Eat up & clean up after you.
