best location, very friendly staff, very clean room and facilities, and with complimentary breakfast, the best value in town.

When I checked out, there was no one there. When I came back after 11 o'clock, I was fined 20 dollars for being late to check out. It was unreasonable. The bed was shaking and I was scared. It was still cold at 5 o'clock and it was so dazzling that I couldn't sleep.

It's very close to the city center, so it's noisy until 5 or 6 in the morning. The kitchen and bathroom are very clean and have hot water available. The disadvantage is that it is on a slope and stairs and the room is very stuffy. The cheapest price in the city. If you want comfort, you will choose another one.

It's an Okey hostel. The kitchen is very small and there isn't room to cook food during peak times. The hostel is pretty clean. The main part is that this hostel is a party hostel. Even though you aren't allowed to drink at the hostel after 8pm a lot of people go out and party, come home late and make noise, be mindful of that.

Has everything you need. We had an ensuite room. Clean modern bathroom. The bed was only a double and the mattress could do with upgrading, soft and a lot of partner disturbance. All carpets need replacing. Breakfast is simple continental first in first served. We missed out our second morning.

Good clean property a bit of a werid request to uncover your pillow case if in a doom room. Surely its easy to see if someone has slept in the bed or not.

Staff were lovely. The Single room was clean and tidy, no noise from the pool hall/bar below. Added bonus that there was a pool hall. Clean bathroom and showers. Was simple and adequate and the carpet was clean and new-looking. AND parking was free!! Yeah. I intend to stay again. Keep up the good work!! Unlike the hotel I had stayed in 6 months prior that was dated, in desperate need of a carpet shampoo and had a very uneven floor and cost way to much.

It was center of the town. Every things are walking distance. I stayed a room w bankbed. Bit small room, still good value of the money. There is a Bar downstairs, free pool to play. Overall 5 out of 5. I enjoyed stay there. Thank you.

Only If the shower place can be warmer in the winter season, everything will be fine for a backpacker. By the way, Thanks for the final arrangement for my family.
