Well appointed and centrally located

Great hostel. Really well appointed with modern facilities. Particularly appreciated the hand towels in the bathrooms and large towels provided.

Far too noisy, people allowed in the kitchen until 10.30pm, plus loud people in the common area until all hours. My room was partly pretected by a solid door, but there was no management presence, or supervision in the evening. On Top Backpackers have signs, outlining after 9pm is a quiet time. Nothing like that here.

Noisy, no sleep here

The amount of noise coming from inside this hoste was shocking, with voices from the managers own bedroom, which was right the through the night until after 4, wit constant coughing fits coming from the same room. Not sure what they were smoking? The rest of stay was ok, clean enough and great location.
