The property is in an easy position, staff is approachable. Bed is clean but I sit on the couch in the room and felt itchy.
The property is on main road and is not that quite at night. I want to save my luggage for a few hours and was charged extra $5.

Staff really helpful allowing me to check in early and clearly have a great cleaning regime. However the place itself is looking a little tired and needs an update and lick of paint. Great value for money however!

Staff responded promptly to any requests or issue. I just think it's a shame that so many hostels don't provide anything for hand drying in toilets.
