Staff trying but poor hostel
Posted 23 Aug 2022 on HotelsWe’ll start with the good: Comfy mattress, individual lights/power outlets and amazing location.
Unfortunately, a lot to be desired. Opened in 2010, this would have been an awesome building at the time. But it feels like no one has maintained it since then. A broken escalator in the middle of the hostel has clearly been out of service for a long time. All of the storage cupboards in the room were either jammed shut or without keys. Hard to feel secure about your belongings. Additionally:
- the wifi only worked on the ground level
- the pillow felt like 3 rocks in a pillowcase
- the ladder to the top bunk had only two rungs - really dangerous
- the shower never got washed while I was there (and the drain blocked on the final day).
Pretty disappointing place to stay for a solo traveller.

Spotlessly clean, nice bright rooms, perfect location. Value for money. Lovely staff. Very happy we booked here.

Was a great location. Easy to find.
Definitely not a hostel, more of a budget hotel.
The private bunks are nice. Shower was odd, would leak water all over the floor. Request a bottom bunk. The ladders are terrible.

Excellent accommodation
Posted 16 Sep 2019 on HotelsLovely hostel. Very friendly check in staff. 24hr reception. Excellent location. Can be a little noisy at night, but then it is a hostel, lots of young people enjoying themselves, so to be expected! Super clean comfortable room.

I wasn't at this large hostel very long, getting there in the evening and leaving early morning, but it was clean and very central. I was able to leave my bag in luggage room before check in.
This is a modern hostel with bright colours and a space age feel to it. I was in a mixed dorm, with the guy making sure he put me into a bottom bunk (as were the other girls in my room), even without me asking. Each bunk has a curtain, shelf, plug socket and light. There was a separate toilet and shower in the room, as well as a sink in the main part of the room.
There was no kitchen or other communal areas, instead there's a cafe bar downstairs, which has a couple of guys on guitars playing covers a few nights a week. The hostel is in the old town, where bars have to close overnight 1am. The overnight staff dealt 3 times with the same group of boys who came back very drunk, trying to bring non-guests back to their room to carry on the party. Luck of the drawer in a hostel in a party town.

The hostel was nice and clean, in an excellent location. Walking distance to everything in old town and the ferry and bus terminals. Staff were friendly. The bright yellow decor was quite intense! And the room was very bright as only a thin white blind over the window. Overall a very pleasant stay
