The property was conveniently located and an easy walk to town. However, it's on the road that goes to the highway and there are alot of big, noisy trucks that pass by. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Stay here with an open mind. It is an old building and it shows. However, it was very clean, tidy and had nice soap and shampoo. The lift does not work, so if you have alot of luggage, might want to stay on lower floors.

We had an on-suite room with double bed. We had everything we needed. There was TV, fridge, tea and coffee and towels. The room was clean. The building itself is a bit run down e.g. the elevator wasn't working (but we stayed in the first floor, so no need for it). The rate was excellent, hence overall you get good value for the money if you are ok with basic accommodation. There was also a shared kitchen which was clean but we did not use it. The parking (about 10 cars) outside was paid parking but free on the weekend. However very much in demand so that we walked everywhere in order not to lose the spot.

This hostel is the best place to catch the coronavirus. Dirty rooms and common areas, windows closed, heavy air. Never stepping in there again.

The property is 1-star. It does have a kitchen and beds, but everything is beyond basic. I've stayed in hostels around Asia, Europe and South America, and they've never been this bad. To start, the staff aren't rude, but they're not exactly helpful. They also failed to mention that they don't provide towels - I walked to Westfield, and all the places that sold towels were expensive. The atmosphere is also quite bad - it doesn't have the fun atmosphere that other places have - it just feels seedy. i ended up leaving and booking elsewhere, but they wouldn't refund my money. Would not recommend at all.

Felt very uncomfortable staying here as a lone travelling female, very creepy place with gangs of people on drugs standing around outside the entrance all day and night that would bother everyone who entered or left the building... not very pleasant. I Stayed in a female dorm, the room was clean, but the cleaners went through my locker and the locker of another girl in my dorm and left our things out everywhere, staff seemed uninterested when we told them. The kitchen was disgusting, and the toilet had no ceiling... can’t believe I payed to stay here... really gross
