I had some good expectations of this place, i had booked via email and had found the staff to be nice and reasonable online. Once arriving to the place i thought it looked a lot worse than the photos on the website, but didn't really worry because it was cheap and you get that sometimes. Upon going in and being... More

Found this place to be nice and different from the others. Good facilities, nice people and friendly atmosphere. Was a bit put off by having to give a deposit for cutlery set but it was only $10 and soon realised that more hostels should do it, it meant the kitchen was always clean and tidy as people actually did there...

Smelly place full of cats, rusty pipes, noise and too many porn videos. Stayed one night and gone early the next morning. The picture on the website must have been taken the first day they opened.
