The room was ok, it had space for 3 people to sleep even though there were 2 of us. Showers had fans which is good when is cold outside.

Travelling, Lithuania

Large, comfortable beds, large lockers in dorm rooms, amazing lounge area with couches, chairs, tables, fireplaces, games. Big kitchen area with nice sunrise view and good bathroom facilities.

Great wide bunk beds with very comfy mattresses. Lockers in the room that you can lock if you have a padlock.

Sydney, Australia

Nice staff and relaxed atmosphere close to centre of town.

David, United Kingdom

Very comfortable beds with real duvets. Clean facilities, great lounge and good property location. They offer breakfast incl. tea/coffee for 6$, however have not tried it so cannot comment.

Katharina, Switzerland

Clean comfortable rooms, toilets also very clean, fireplaces, movies at night, allowed me to still use facilities on check-out day

Diane, New Zealand

It’s a good hostel. Everything seemed pretty clean and friendly. The central location is very handy

Nicolai, Germany

Despite the construction outside, liked this location close to the bus lines, outdoor cinema and cool new park. Great laundry facilities (24 hr), big kitchen and big lockers in the rooms. Liked that the windows opened in the rooms for fresh air.

Maureen, Canada

The lockers were a decent size, phone charger by the bed was very helpful, location was great. Would definitely stay again.

눉Personally didn't like the smell in the toilets & they weren't very clean. A little strange that we had to make our own beds (pillow, linen and blanket were stored in the locker) as most hostels don't require us to. I happen to be in the room just beside the road/car park and it was really noisy in the morning with traffic and what sounded like construction works.
눇Great location & easy access to main shops & restaurants. Big kitchen so you don't need to queue to use the stove(s). Nice & cosy lounge area.
