staff were nice enough, excellent location, fairly quiet vs other city centre hostels, bed was comfortable, good value for money, good power sockets, good snacks/drinks selection
check out at 10am is early if you’ve been out the night before, a few bits that weren’t the cleanest (but far from the worst ive ever seen), a little bit dated/budget

Elevator broken, lots of school groups making it noisy

The location is great - it's right by the harbour, which made for a really nice experience.
I was assigned a room on the 5th (top) floor, which clearly looks like a poorly integrated extension to the building. My stay coincided with a heatwave, and the room was absolutely suffocating. There was a fan provided, but it did virtually nothing to cool the space down - it just moved hot air around.
For the price I paid, I expected much more humane living conditions, especially considering that the property prides itself on being eco-friendly. It’s particularly frustrating because the lower floors actually look quite decent, while the top floor feels completely neglected.
The shower facilities were also highly questionable. They had no ventilation whatsoever, making it intensely stuffy and far too easy to overheat while just trying to wash up.
Overall, a very disappointing experience and poor value for money.
