ロトルアのバス乗り場（i site）から歩いて10分くらいでした。設備もきれいで、過ごしやすかったです。また、フロントデスクの対応時間の到着でしたが、その場合のキーカードの受け取りも、問い合わせたらすぐにメッセージで教えていただけました。とても気持ちよく過ごせました。

The accomodation was too noicy. We were on a King suite by the stairs. People are running up and down the stairs and the corridor. Rooms are not sound proof at all. I don’t recommend this place for anybody who’s looking forward to sleepin on a vacation.

No frills
Very small room but comfortable. Very noisy when people were congregating in the courtyard or by the gate (which kept banging loudly all night when people came through, which wasn't much fun). Unpleasant smell came up from the shower after using. Free parking outside the hostel was very handy.

8/10 Very Good

The room and facilities had everything for our 3-day stay. conveniently located in the city, with good street parking and a quiet street. Late check-in was easy with the lockbox. The room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were firm and comfortable. The little fridge, electric jug and crockery were appreciated. A few little issues. The room was very tight and small, with no room for luggage, the large unit with the hangers needed to be shelves for storage. Was weird with the single beds together, instead of a queen bed. Stayed for 3 nights with no change of towel service. The access security metal gate is heavy to open carrying gear, noisy opening and closing with people coming and going in the night when you are trying to sleep with the window open to cool a very hot room.

It was comfortable and clean. But it was lacking. No fan or AC in the room and there was no soap to bathe. The check in process was fine, but really no soap was surprising. Also the staff could be friendlier.

2/10 Poor

They advertised AC but they didn’t have any and it was blazing hot, we had our windows open but we were right next to the kitchen and they had the lights on late and people were talking. We didn’t get any sleep and checked out at 6:30am.

Good value for money, bunk beds made private since they have thick curtains. Place was being remodeled so common areas were usable but smelled of paint fumes. Front staff / customer service was quite disappointing - for a hostel, they werent friendly or approachable at all.

The room was clean and well-cleaned, so I was able to stay comfortably! It was also convenient to be able to charge my phone in bed! However, my room was on the first floor, so the noise of people going up and down the stairs and the voices of people checking out early in the morning made it difficult to sleep, which was unfortunate. Other than that it was really great！
