2/10 Poor

This is a back packers,,which isn’t stated anywhere in the advertising. So many young kids every where,,, in hallways , on all the lounges, bags everywhere. We just wanted a good night out and got no sleep whatsoever. Yelling and screaming outside of the room ALL night.Would never recommend or stay here again. Not happy !!!

Pick another
The photos are incredibly deceiving - in reality, the entire hostel is very dark, especially in the common areas located on each floor. Perhaps this was different pre-covid. Dark, minimal outlets, and very vast spaces make areas difficult to meet others and/or relax on your own. The lobby has music blasting including during the check out times. Within the rooms, the doors are not soundproof at all so when people play music in the common areas, it will surely keep you up. Additionally, an in-room speaker will play music and make a checkout announcement everyday about an hour before checkout. Definitely be warned and don't trust the photos. Would strongly suggest to pick elsewhere unless major improvements are made to the current state of this hostel.

Like a little hostel resort! Everyone was super lovely and vibes were immaculate. They’ve done a heap of renovations and opened a free gym, cafe, restaurant, vending machines and don’t have to leave the place to get food!
