First time at a Hostel and of course had that second thought mindset before checking in. I could not have been more wrong! Best stay in a city have ever had! From holding bags for early arrivals, to floor 2, the lounge area, I was pleasantly surprised! Met some really awesome humans and the whole experience was super awesome and positive! Can't wait to go back.

Things that you would expect from sharing a room with others, moving around, snoring, checking in late. Not a big deal at all and to be honest, everything else far outweighed any of this. Cannot beat the experience and the value!

The rooms were clean. It's simple to check in and check out.The living room at plan 2 is really nice.

The shared kitchen is REALLY dirty. I wouldn't recommend cooking/eating there.

"Weโ€™ll organise"

8.0

Look great and well organised. Allowed to switch room due to unable to sleep well with one snoring extremely loudly.

Kitchen was a mess during my first day. Fortunately the kitchen was able to be improved the cleanliness gradually. Thereโ€™re too many inconsiderate people in the hostel. Hardly to keep the kitchen clean.
