“Hot showers and grocery store next door”
I really liked the facility. It have a nice outdoor area with a pool. The indoor lounge was comfy and had sitting areas and a pool table. The kitchen was a decent size and seemed to have everything I needed to prepare meals. They also have laundry facilities for $5 small load and $10 large load. They are steps away from the grocery store. The female dorm was comfy enough with a bathroom and hot shower. There are power bars strapped to the bed frame to plug in your phone. The wifi worked well downstairs in the sitting area. There are lockers outside the room.

I didn't stay here as they cancelled on me hours before check in so I had to find alternative accomodation. Far from ideal.

“Cosy, relaxed hotel, awesome chill out spots, great kitchen, friendly staff, great location :)”
It's a really homely feel hostel, small and cosy with some excellent communal chill out areas. Nice kitchen with everyone you need, literally opposite a big supermarket and good location to get ubers to everywhere we wanted. Staff were super lovely and let us store our luggage and hang out there after checking out waiting for our overnight bus. Really nice spot. Was so busy we didn't get chance to use the pool but such a nice extra option too :)

“Lovely people”
Good location. Really kind and friendly staff. They were really chilled and welcoming made you feel at home. A fun vibe without the forced socialising and games found in other hostels. Nice simple breakfast. Bathrooms always kept clean.
