Loft - HI Eco Hostel

Bang on middle of the main street. Reasonably priced good value for money.

The room was very small for a private suite

Right on a main shopping street but the room was very quiet. Extremely comfortable beds. We had a private room and full bathroom. The shared kitchen was great. Two stoves, two sinks, two refrigerators. People left food, condiments, plates, etc for anyone to use. Fully stocked with dishes, pans, dishwashing needs. Very secure rooms.

The hostel is located in a busy shopping area and there is no parking there. We parked overnight in a pay by the hour garage after spending too long trying to find a space on the street.

The sheets were ready and it was nice there were codes to get into the rooms. The location was super central which was great - and also loud on a Friday and Saturday night.

There wasn't a lot of space to put luggage and the lockers were small. Also, I was promised an all female room and it seems like the male partner of one of the guests stayed the night in the room. There wasn't enough space to put luggage up on top of stuff and the beds were so hi- I felt like I was going to fall every time I had to climb down from the upper bunk. It wasn't clear the codes wouldn't work outside of regular hours to get in and out of the building when I took an early morning walk. The bathrooms were kinda dirty with hair in the drains. The women in my room were arguing about when quiet hours were and it made the space uncomfortable.
