Very good

Had a great time over Christmas. I stayed only 4 nights and felt welcome.

Familiar hostel with nice staff and a few long term guests. I was integrated quickly (I am a bit shy).

As I'm new to backpacking I cannot really compare it to other hostels.

I liked the people there. I really felt like I was part of a family. I met a lot of nice people.

I didn't have a good time in Room 7 because of some people that were disrespectful. I don't know how good or bad the other rooms are.

Great place to build network with overseas people

No breakfast. Location - easy to wander around

The bed was too soft for my back, sadly, many shops were closed down up for lease

Good location

Good location, friendly staff

In the room, you can hear sounds from the kitchen and the stairs. The bed was squeaky, and there were no power outlets near the bed.
