They have different themed nights, for example while I was there they had a freshly-baked scones evening, and one evening with other snacks that were all free to hostel dwellers. There is a kitchen which is available for guests to use during certain hours, as well as a dining area where you... More

Turned up to be told by receptionist I had booked a week later then I needed but she was excellent. Saw my booking and as they had a free double room was upgraded from twin to double at no extra cost. Room was tidy and had a shower, TV, tea and coffee not unlike a budget hotel. Excellent location.

Super nice staff, by far the most helpful friendliest I have come across. Rooms are a bit cramped with everyone's luggage but its clean, close to everything and generally comfortable. Staff also provide event nights

9 of us stayed in Kipps Hostel back in August. The place itself it really nice, I like how they have triple rooms as well as single and double. One of the showers was out at one point but we just used a nicer one on another floor. A couple of us stayed in the actual dorm and it didn't... More

I stayed at Kipps in November and we had a wonderful stay. Like a hotel at hostel prices, the staff are wonderful, the breakfast is very generous, and the beds are very comfy. We stayed in a dorm room for one night and then a double bed room for two nights, and both were clean, tidy, and well looked after.... More

Flashpacker's this is your spot. Read the reviews and it exceeded my expectations. Fab location. Clean, cosy, slept like a baby, fresh fruit included in generous breakfast. Stayed in a private room - big soft towels, TV, such comfy bed, pillows & cushions... CCTV in the hallways - just made me feel safe. This is how to operate a hostel...... More

The best hostel I have stayed in so far. From giving you a large, clean and soft towel with your room, serving free food to all their guests nightly and a breakfast that is definitely worth paying the small fee for, this hostel goes above and beyond the kind of service that one expects at a hostel. Very clean, friendly... More
