4/10 Fair

Nice place apart from room & price
Nice place in general with Great staff, cafe & bar. We had double room with share toilet. Room was tiny & no room for luggage etc. Bathrooms ok. As a hostel it was a complete rip off price wise. Hostels International charged in Euros then to Canadian, then Australian dollar. To pay over Aud$400 for one night was outrageous.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect option for people of all ages on a budget, I saw many young adults who had fun in the bar which is down in the basement so cannot be heard from the room’s but extremely respectful of others by being quiet once they left that area. The staff were great, polite, helpful and happy which gave the place a great “Vibe” and that’s what makes a place. Rooms good and clean and with given a free bus pass made everything perfect. Try out the cafe too good meal’s good pricing and good attitude.There was a range of ages mostly young but also those like me in there late 50s and above so don’t hesitate to book. Visiting from Australia 🇦🇺.
