    The bed has no curtain, you may feel no privacy at night.

    The location is great, lots of shops and restaurants, walking distance from central. The shower is very good, that’s important for some people.

    Beds were noisy every time you move, but no big deal for me.

    Everything! Location, very clean, staff were very kind and helpful. Train station was very close, you had bars and restaurant around. Can walk to the city center or take the bus.

    There is one bathroom and two toilets in total. The bed was noisy. I was forcing myself not to move a lot and not to bother other people. The sheet was not looking so clean, I found some hair. The room has no lock.

    For a hostel, it was pretty clean and peaceful. It is so easy to check in and out. The room was warm enough.

    Bunk beds were a bit noisy as they were metal, every movement anyone made were causing squeaking (didn't bother me, but could be an issue for a light sleeper).

    Great location, wonderful staff, lovely communal areas and well stocked kitchen with italian coffee maker (always a bonus)

    Not a big problem for me, as I don't move around a lot in bed, but the bed that I was in was a bit squeaky.

    I expected it would be bigger, (i.e. more rooms), but it works as it is. A nice basic quiet place to stay and the room I stayed in was a good size. Facilities were clean. It was nice to have the option of the breakfast.

    Well-cared for hostel with good security, super central. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for solo travellers. Breakfast was a nice bonus.

    Write 2 or 3 sentences A very friendly and laid-back hostel, it is small, not many beds but, despite that, there were good facilities, a kitchen with breakfast foods, tea and coffee, a laundry room and a sitting room. The staff were lovely and helpful. The location is excellent, right in Botanic Avenue, surrounded by restaurants, near the University and near to the middle of Town.

    Google maps 🤣 the place is at the start of Botanic Ave, ignore anything else.

    Lovely people, lovely area, great eateries and a 5 min walk to town. Breakfast is a nice bonus and the place was spotless. Definitely worth every penny.

    Although it didn’t show as a female only room on the page, I got a female only room. This was very considerable and I really appreciate it. The staff there were nice. The location was good as well. There are quite a few Asian restaurants around. It’s also close to the central bus station. The bathroom and bed were clean. There were food and water in the kitchen too.

    This hostel was really perfect. The host is lovely, as are the other guests. I had a very good (short) stay. Special mention for the location and the bathroom which is very clean and comfortable, which is rare enough to be noted. I'd recommend it!

    I've no complaint, and would definitely stay again.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this new, ideally located hostel between the University area and the city center, within an easy walk of train and bus stations. I had never noticed it before, but it came to the rescue, as did a staff person when we needed help to enter.

    There is only one shower, and it could get busy in the morning.

    The place is small and very well maintained, this is much quieter than other hostels. Highly recommended if you are looking for a nice night of sleep after spending the day in the city.
