+The location is very good.
−Apart from being shown which were our bunks we were told almost nothing about the hostel. (The reception person seemed to have very little English, she did not even know what the wifi password was.) We were not told how to get back in once the front door was locked - we went out for an early morning walk & could not get back in. The buzzer did not work, there was a sign on the door saying to ring a certain number if the buzzer did not answer. I rang that number & nobody answered. There were signs up giving wifi passwords for networks that did not exist. We were told to use the wifi from the barber next door! We could see wifi signals from several networks with the hostel name, but we were told we could not use them. There were signs up saying that the dorm aircon would be off from 11 am to 5 pm. Fair enough, but when the aircon in the dorm was still off at 8pm (and the dorm was very hot) I was told that the aircon would not be on until 9 pm. If you have a choice, don't stay here except for maybe 1 night. The place is well enough situated, but hss very little else going for it.

“Great value for money, just disappointing with the cleanliness as it would have been perfect of not for that!”
+I liked that I had my own little pod and it wasn’t busy.
−The toilet was terribly maintained, the toilet paper bin constantly overflowing. Unsure why this couldn’t be changed more often as there was always lots of staff around.

“Comfortable hostel with friendly staff!”
+I have read the reviews for this hostel and I disagree with all negative ones. This hostel, for the price, is fantastic. The staff are friendly and so helpful, the common room is set up with tables and chairs, fans to keep you cool and free coffee, tea and water. The showers are powerful and hot and if you need to cook, there is a kitchen, but with the amount of cheap restaurants, why would you. The location is in the city centre and I walked everywhere to see the sights, grab taxis are cheap if you don’t want walk. I had planned to go to a hotel after one night (if I didn’t like it) but stayed for 3 nights.
−To me there was nothing negative. It was better than the hotel I was staying in on my first night which was dirty, uncomfortable and not good.
