It's ok I suppose and judging from some to the other reviews it has improved. The rooms are small but it's ok if you are in with people you get on with, doesn't leave much floor space for you bags though. Location is good, maybe a 30 minute walk to the harbour. Toilets and showers are about acceptable. They also... More

Only stayed here as a last resort over NYE period. The prices are outlandish at this time. First call ahead before check in as they close when they feel like it. I came and had to wait two hours for receptionist to come back from lunch. Then there was no bedding. The place is filthy. 99% work and live here... More

This hostel is very cramped, they squeeze as many beds as they can into a tiny room so there is no room for you back packs! The common area was filthy and covered in old crisps packets goon packets and was just generally disgusting. The free breakfast was very disappointing literally they just put some loaves of bread in the... More

You could almost miss this hostel walking down the street, but you'd be sorry if you did! This place has an awesome atmosphere, the rooftop is amazing for chilling out during the day and partying during the night, and has staggering views of the city. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and take you out lots so you get... More

This is a great hostel for people wishing to enjoy a fun, laid-back, frienly nightlife after a day of sightseeing. The staff was very friendly, kind and helpful. The view from the rooftop was fabulous, the facilities were in great condition and the location is excellent. We will definitely stay here again! Highly Recommend!!!
