The bed was comfy and a heater was provided in the room. It was nice and simple accommodation and close to the arena which is why we stayed. I will stay again next time i am attending a concert and looking for cheap accommodation.

Good location at a good price. Good atmosphere, relaxed and quiet on the nights if you need to do some paperwork :). Very clean toilets and bathrooms. Although I didn't use the kitchen son much It seemed fully equipped

Ricardll, Spain

Lovely old house very close to the museum. Our bunk beds were very comfy and the place is clean. The staff were very nice and plenty of parking out on the street, just have to be moved by 10am which is check-out time anyway. Great kitchen set up so can make your own with your own supplies, a little dairy just up the road too.

Cl, New Zealand

Late Check-In was super easy, staff is friendly. The Building itself is old and has a history and a certain charm. The facilities are only basic but kept in good condition. It has a lot of places to sit (inside and outside) but not all are heated which limits options in winter. The Location is good for eating and walking, but the thick of Auckland is still easily reachable in a few minutes. There's free Coffee and Tea. Luggage Storage was also available

Johannes, Germany

The common area was huge! And meeting people was easy and really fun. Great environment, big room, nice beds, staff was very nice.

Katrina, USA

Location was great. Private rooms were clean and big. Beds in shared bunk rooms had clean sheets. Value for money. It was only 1 night stay for us before we left so no major complains.

“Nice homely atmosphere and great location”

Stuart

United Kingdom

“I got there after check-in, friendly staff returned to the hostel to check me in at 9 pm. My bed was comfy, 4 person room in a separate building included individual lockers in the room. Nice sitting area in the main building with a fireplace for relaxing. The kitchen was large enough for several groups to work at once.”

“simple and convenient”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
눉We were up in the morning at 9am to leave and the two toilets were out of toilet paper rolls, by the time we arrived back at 3pm they still had not been replaced. It wasn't until late around midnight that we were home again after being out and noticed they had been replaced finally, I think they need staff replenishing these early morning and night or at least leaving some in the bathroom themselves in a cupboard or on a shelf?
눇The bed was comfy and a heater was provided in the room. It was nice and simple accommodation and close to the arena which is why we stayed. I will stay again next time i am attending a concert and looking for cheap accommodation.

눉The room was smelly sometimes. Maybe because some guests used to eat inside. Apparently the kitchen didn't have exhaust so when people cooked the common areas were full of smoke, I think this is something that has to be fixed :S

“The ensuite room is certainly not worth the high price.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Deluxe Double Room with Shower
- • Stayed 10 nights
눉- The warm water of the shower in the ensuite room runs out within five minutes. This happens every time you want to take a shower, without exceptions, so it seems like there is some sort of timer on the shower. I told the owner about this, and she answered that this is just the boiler going on and off at times. She did not take any action to improve the situation. - As I announced in the reservation process, I arrived early in the morning (around nine). The owner did not seem to be prepared for this, however. When I showed up, the owner asked me to wait for her in the common room for a bit, and then she left. The common room was ice cold, and I was tired from my flight and hungry. After I waited for 45 minutes, I went to look for her. When I found her, she told me that I still had to wait until noon until the room would be ready. In the end, my room was ready at 12.15. - The ensuite room is supposed to be the most luxory room, but it looks more like a stockroom than a guest room. It is full of cupboards, while it lacks most basic equipment. There are no tables or chairs, there is no water boiler. Since the common kitchen has limited opening hours, it is not possible to make a cup of hot tea late in the evening. - The building is poorly insolated. Although it is prohibited to smoke inside, the room completely smelled like cigarette smoke at time because of people smoking outside of the building.
눇- The WiFi works well.
