10/10 Exceptional

Nice rooms and bed.
shane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great apart from the cleaning

The bed was comfy, great privacy with the curtains and sturdy built beds. Cozy warm room, lots of showers etc. large kitchen, dining area, TV sofa section. Negatives: I was there for 4 days and they did not clean the room once, mugs left from previous people and a dirty carpet that needed a vacuum, not good. Some of the staff were approachable and friendly, others really weren't and just took over the shared spaces at night, mainly talking over the films in the TV area, so odd when there's other places to sit.

Super!

Great place. Clean with all you can need
Nathalie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quick check in. The bed was great, not soft like in 90% of hotels, so I did not have a back pain. The room was very clean. The bathroom was reasonably clean. Quuet hours are 10pm-7 am, however one neighbor wad talking over the phone and laughing loudly at night for about an hour so i could not sleep. In my humble opinion such guests must be fined.

Everything’s perfect. Kitchen facility were fully equipped. The best thing was the location. Located close to Intercity bus stop. There’s a nice free foot bath within 5mins walk.

Great room. Good for what we needed it for. Unfortunately there was some male sports team staying there also and were extremely loud. The walls a very very thin. But overall it was an ok experience. Would go there again. Loved seeing all the tourists!

YINGHUA, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Had a private ensuite room (Room 80) which you expect a bit better experience than a dorm but might aswell have been. The door to the room was immediately next to the kitchen’s fridge door so was awoken by people making breakfast at 5am. There was also a cockroach in the bathroom we had to get rid of which was awful. Had very limited interaction with staff due to the app check-in etc. Would not stay again
Charlotte, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value for money. Simple, unfussy accommodation - very clean and tidy. Amazing communal area and kitchen facilities
Melissa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

No aircon so the room was a bit stuffy couldn’t open the window due mosquitoes and bugs. fly screen would’ve helped if they had them. The walls and ceiling are thin. I can hear the guy snoring upstairs.

Met some amazing people on my solo travels
Raelene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place for a cheaper option. The doors were very noisy on the first night as they closed at each time someone went though but that would be the only downside of the property. Room was very clean and modern
Sophie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were really satff on check in. Location was excellent. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy other things about our stay. Our family booked 3 twin bed rooms. None of the rooms had hot water in the showers. It was luke warm at best. The upstairs rooms were noisy with paper thin walls and people slamming doors all through the night. The ground floor apartment was opposite the dining hall. The door was slamming everytime some went through it, thw floor heating caused the room to be so hot we sweates all night under a sheet and had to open the sliding door as it got too hot to handle. The ensuit bathroom smelt like stale urine and the body wash in the shower was empty. I hate to complain but this was the most expensive place we've stayed, but by far the most problematic. We wanted to love it, but won't ne back.

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。

ちゃんとシーツと枕を洗って無かった。 建物に出入りする人の音は建物中響き渡るから寝辛い。特に建物内の階段の音はすごくうるさい

Needs deep cleaning

The bathroom had an incredible amount of black mould on the bathroom ceiling which is unacceptable. Room 2
Abram, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Sarah, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

6/10 Good

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.
