Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. Some staff are really friendly some really rude. The room had broken blinds. Mouldy blinds and broken windows in bathroom. . Room so hot had to sleep with windows wide open on main road. Told Mr. Eddie Langton would come and talk with us but still not heard from him. This hotel is all about functions, not staying guests.
