I liked the social aspect of the property and the value for money.
The room wasnt very clean and could do with updating. I understand its a hostel and you get what you pay for but the fridge wasnt cleaned, the bunk bed was mouldy and the bathroom had hairs etc still in there.

Seems like a really social hostel, theyve got lots of activities going on and free breakfast every day 8-10am! Good facilities and nice vibe in the hostel, good location.
Stayed on NYE, ridiculous prices.

Bathrooms were bit mouldy and dirty. Could install a towel rack and shelves, so I can find somewhere to place toiletries.

There were boxes etc clogging up the walkways. Old beds / old AC units just lying around. Looked really untidy and not a good impression.
There was a fan in the room which was good, but unfortunately it was 40' some AC would be amazing!

Cheap but not great
Quite well located, nice to have breakfast provided (toast, Muesli, milk, tea, coffee).
Not particularly clean, reception slow, toilets/showers often occupied, roommates doing questionable things.

I had booked the hostel months ago and when I arrived there were no beds, they were oversold, I was up until 11 at night looking where I was going to sleep and they put me in a room with a boy because there were no rooms, nor was the experience horrible.
