- "The accomodation was pretty ok. The dorm looked well and the beds were nice. However, one guest that is apperently staying longterm, ruined my complete night. Clearly under influence he touched me while I was sleeping. He was very loud in his sleep and caused me nightmares. Apparently he had been staying there for a long time what I think is unacceptable. I am a female solo traveller and never had a bad experiences before. I was scared in this dorm. If you’re a backpacker/hostel and you want to create a good experience for travellers, you should not host an alcoholic. "

- "Great place to stay, it has a great location near the stadium and the city center, walking distance from the Water Front. For me there were only two things that I did not expect: 1. the breakfast was very basic, but upon reflection, it reflected the price, it's a hostel of course and not a 5* hotel. If you need a great breakfast there a nice restaurant(forgot the name) no more than a 5 min walk from there. 2. I was freezing! I stayed in a room for 4 people and while we had 2 heaters it was still quite cold for me when not under the blanket, it was alright, but just a little unconfortable to get dressed or shower in the morning. Overall it's one of the best hostels I've stayed at in over 40 countries I've visited, very friendly staff and great location."

The place is self cantering but some items bought can disappear easily. I was given a family room. Good water flow and hot water was available. " - "This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room. They do not provide wifi like is advertised and when I pressed the owner, he gave me one coupon for 100mb internet for two rooms (4 people). I told him it was advertised online as free wifi and he got very angry. He insulted me and my nationality. The place is ok. It is very loud all night which made it difficult to sleep.

The staff is friendly and my room was comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend." - "Front desk crew are habitually welcoming, friendly and involved. Housekeeping is phenomenally meticulous, and the rooms are scrupulously clean. Anything that breaks (lights, plugs etc) is literally almost immediately fixed, too. And the breakfast is delicious and far more than the advertised "continental brekkie" with a choice of, I believe, 5 different hot dishes (I recommend the pancakes with syrup. And then add bacon and butter!) Also, the folks in the resto are almost all a delight to deal with. And the kitchen is very, very good with their honey soy chicken wings as my personal fave! "

We stayed in the backpacking section in large tents with 2 twin beds which was very comfortable.

- "share review non ensuite kitchen clean and well equipped picture of terrorist in chillroom street parking 🅿 limited in season check in bit intimidating , felt like i was been looked down upon " - "Spacious room, well located and parking outside. Friendly reception staff" - "Amazing. Totally newly renovated, very nice room and beds, there’s everything you need in your room (fridge, cups, cutlery, safety locker...). The toilets and showers are very nice. Breakfast superb. If you’re planning to hang around with other people this is not the choice, but if it’s just for a stay/over it’s very nice. "
