I had a single room - bed was comfy. Sheets blankets pillow were clean. My only complaint was the kitchen was for the whole place it was large but got very hectic - the Casual seating area Had a pool table and again got hectic. - the only place I had to sit was my room - but there was no chair - overall. It was good value - the bad things were just my personal preference on things and previous stays at other backpackers that had supplied them - I did love it was 24/7 for the front desk. Bathrooms were clean ( also I’m 58 im Not into Socialising with lots of people lol ). But would recommend for backpackers who like to socialise :-)

Staff at reception were kind and offered various suggestions on what to do/where to eat around the area when I asked. The facilities were clean, quiet, and amenities are nothing crazy but offered multiple clean spaces to hang in. New to travelling and first hostel stay, honestly have no complaints!
