Hayley

Liked: Staff & service
Stayed in a single occupancy ensuite room. This was decent sized. The windows didn’t close properly nor were able to reduce lots of noise outside from courtyard music and talking along with air conditioning noise and external noise. Heater didn’t work. Noise in other parts of the building were much worse due to construction work on the street. The fridges were so full I didn’t bother trying to use them. It is a dry hostel which is great with no smoking or vaping but this is soon known not to be true with people smoking on the doorstep and in the courtyard with ash trays provided by the hostel - so cap re that. The bathroom had mould, linens not great but you get what you pay for noting it’s in a really great spot with all amenities, buses, cbd, supermarket all nearby

Lucy

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room itself was spacious and bathroom was clean. However it was so so so loud there the whole time I stayed all I could hear were doors slamming, construction, and even building work right outside my door during the day! Staff were nice but found the check in experience awkward. Also had to ask three times if my overflowing bins could be changed. Great location but would only stay again if the loud slamming doors were fixed / updated and if I could guarantee a peaceful sleep!!
