I arrived for check in a couple of hours early and the Staff were so nice & accommodating.
They went out their way to get my room ready because I had to go out & wasn’t back till late.
Paper thin bed sheet. One tiny bathroom for fourteen people. Inaccessible light switches. No curtain on front windows. To few outlets in hard to reach areas.
Decent hostel. Kitchen was small, narrow, and dirty but still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a good veggie burger.

Decent hostel. Kitchen was dirty, narrow and small (basically a hallway), but was still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a great veggie burger. Central to bus station and downtown. Not sure if I would stay again.
It’s a very old and a bit dilapidated building with dodgy narrow stairs. Room was so basic and a bit grungy. The room wasn’t ready which was annoying.
The best thing was the locality to everything.
Staff were inexperienced and when I ordered coffee I burnt my mouth from the scorching water.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were fabulous when I requested to move room after finding considerable mould.
Overall the cleanliness was pretty atrocious, but you get that when you can trade cleaning for free nights.
Overall, the vibe of the place is chill and kinda cool and the location is great - far enough away to be quiet, but close enough to easily walk to everything, including the beach.
My stay was great! Staff made the stay even more enjoyable with entertainment and a quiz to bring everyone together. The entertainment host Mia was terrific in doing so. Thankyou for the stay and look forward to returning again.

Overall good experience. My matress was terrible though. Definitely need an upgrade. Other than that, thank you for the stay!
This place is a health hazard. Really disgusting and the whole place stinks (from mould I reckon). There were stains on towels and sheets, fan was not working.
Terrible hostel. Noisy in the mornings blaring music at 6am and policy on no drink is crazy. Thry took my drink through i bought for the next day and i wasnt drinking it in the hostel. Rude staff too. avoid !
Worst Hostel. Water was leaking from Sealing and sinks are so small that you won't be able to wash your face or hands.
All the Dust all over the room no cleanness.
Congusted beds and No AC.
I won't recommend to any one.

Convenience to beach access. Pillows were almost flat and real hard mattress.
