“Overall a good place to spend a few days!”
The hostel is in a perfect location right in the city centre. It's very clean, both common areas, rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is ok, but there are always a lot of people cooking at all times of the day. Overall, it's a good hostel!

“Excellent city location, clean and well organised.”
Great communication prior to check in, check in and out experience was quick and easy. Excellent location, nice and clean good sized room, big bathroom. Firm and comfy bed and pillows. Extra doona provided (and used as it was cold!) Wristbank key is a great idea! The outside window blocked a lot of city noise. Wifi was great and easy to connect to.
