Unlike other YHA hostels , this one is twice as expensive and is full of loud and arrogant people who show no accountability to their drunk behaviour and do not respect others who are staying there. Very hard to get some sleep. Better off sleeping in a car.

Fantastic stay
We loved our stay here. The price was just right, the location was second to none, the room and common areas were very clean, and the bed was unexpectedly amazingly comfortable.

Property was much better than my expectations owing to an upgrade in recent times. The male and female staff members were excellent.

The place was good, clean bathrooms, friendly staff. Unfortunately though, I didn’t get much sleep due to other people walking around throughout the night talking really loudly. Not your fault. Thanks

The staff was amazing, the floor and the shared bathroom was clean. But they said no noise is permitted with the notes on the wall, but unfortunately the people around my room were so loud, talked outside of my front door. Even I closed all the windows I could hear. But the other than that it was nice accommodation.

Great spot for young travellers on a budget. Rooms and facilities are clean, the pool is a great place to chill, and it’s in the heart of town!
