Great Kitchen facility

The staff were very nice people, pleasant & helpful. The place was quiet & in good location. The kitchen is big. You can check in until fairly late which is helpful for many travellers.

The beddings at at least one of the beds of our room had not been changed (they looked used & there were hair on the pillowcase etc), but when we mentioned it to the staff, they were very apologetic & changed the beddings at all our beds straight away.

Location, price

Waiting for bathroom/ toilet

The pillows and the bed was horrible

The staff, no parking

the location was unbeatable

I have stayed in over 60 hostels, and worked in hostels for over a year. This hostel easily is in the bottom 3 I have ever had the experience of staying at. To put it plainly, this hostel lives up to the reputation hostels had decades ago, scaring our parents from ever staying in one. the bathrooms had mould, walls had peeling paint, the bedding was appalling and filthy. we had to peel off some debris and hair from our single sheet. The fact that they make you take your own bedsheets and pillow off before you leave, and kick you out of your room from 10-3 everyday even if you stay multiple nights is ridiculous. I have run cleaning programs at hostels- this is NOT NORMAL. you can clean a room properly with people still allowed to be in occupied beds. the atmosphere left everything to be desired, no sense of community, no socialising, no help whatsoever from the hostel to give advice on the surrounding area. Honestly, I would never recommend anyone stay here again. I camped the night before in a tent in the rain and had a better stay. the fact we paid so much money for a stay here, will haunt me.

Good location

Old, not well maintained, strange interior decorating

Massive big kitchen / dining area. Great to relax before going to bed.

All good.
