Central Hostel

The place is hip and new with new facilities and a restaurant/bar in the lobby but it's not quite a hostel. It does not have any kitchen facility. Even just a kettle and a microwave would make backpacker's lives easier. I felt that the price was extremely high for what you get - even the luggage storage in the locker is at cost before check-in and after check-out.

Not great accommodation and wouldn't stay again. Probably good for backpackers in dorms, but not worth the price of the double rooms. Room was very cold on arrival and had to go downstairs to ask for room to be heated at least 5 times in 2 days as there is no thermostat in the room. Staff seemed to turn heat on for 30 mins then off (aside from 1 time when left on for 2 hours) so was generally cold again very quickly. No blackout blinds as advertised and those that were there were old and broken. Music playing on Saturday night until 2am downstairs, which prevented us from sleeping on floor 4... Basically a party hostel with some overpriced double rooms that would cater to a different crowd.

I stayed in a female only room. Each bed comes with a spacious locker, outlet, light, and shelf. Privacy curtains are there, but they’re more like blinds and are very noisy to open, which you have to do any time you want to leave the bed. Not much maneuverability between the rows of beds in my room though. Only big complaint I have is the fact that after you check out, if you want to keep your bags at the hostel, you have to pay for it. The lockers are secure, but still frustrating to have to pay for a service that is usually offered free of charge at hostels. Location is very good.

Check-in was quick, and the first impression of the hostel was great. The room, 8 bed dorm, was very very compact. There's a barely enough room for a person to pass by between the beds. However, It was very clean and loved the privacy curtain. On the other hand, I didn't appreciate no kitchen plus no outside food allowed in the hostel policy. It just make it more difficult for budget travellers to stay at this hostel. Overall, it was a good stay.

Great location, nice facilities and very friendly staff.
