The kitchen and bathrooms were cramped and often full. But, the location and staff were wonderful. The room was clean. The hostel was just full and could have used slightly better designed facilities to accommodate the crowd on hand.

Great, central location. Handy to airport bus stops. Lots of eateries within walking distance and close to most major event centres. Place is being redecorated so some unfinished work still but very clean and staff are friendly and helpful.

Great price for an easy stay. Lovely place the staffs are very friendly and all the guests are friendly and polite, the place is tidy and safe. We had the private ensuite room, small but offered everything we needed. It was a little bit noisy as the room is near laundry and kitchen but we were good sleepers so no border. Definitely recommend it.
