The hot water smelled like sulfur. It is connected to a bar so it was extremely loud. Wasn’t very clean. It was fine, but the price was pretty high for the quality.

Good place to sleep for a night. I wouldnt stay longer than one night as they are beocming "eco friendly" and require push button showers which is difficult with long hair to wash. Clean and friendly, reasonably priced.

Shared facilities were ample and nice. They had great activities available in the shared area. Quiet hours were a bit skewed (11p-9a). I liked that the bathrooms had towels for hand drying. I liked that the showers were one area and bathrooms were another. It was efficient. It was nice to have a kitchen to use. Staff was great. Everything was super clean. It was a fun, quirky place. Restaurant looked cool but we didn't eat there.

The staff was very friendly and explained the hostel’s procedures very well. I like that they are “very concerned with recycling” there, and even had a compost bin in the kitchen.

Loved thos hostel! First off thank you to the gentleman who upgraded us to a more comfortable room with a double and a bunk for our 4 yr old. Greatly apreciated. He also gave our son colouring books to play which was sweet. Kitchen was nice, common room very confortable, spacious and cool decor. There was kareoke in the bar beside us which played fun music. Beds were comfy and our son didn't want to leave! Thank you.

This is the 1st property i have seen which is so Eco-friendly. It was our first time staying at a hostel and the family loved the setup. The toilets were very clean so shared toilets wasn't an issue. The kids loved the lounge area as it had plenty of activities to keep them busy while we rested in our room.

The common areas are very welcoming. There is a restauraunt/bar and thebataff is great. There is also a large common area with comfortsble chairs and couches. The only negative is the laundry facility - that does not work well or efficiently
