We had an amazing stay here. The rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean and the hotel facilities were great. We found safe and free parking easily on the street and the location was perfect as it was right next to the bus stop where we got off. We could easily walk to the shops in town and the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
Could not be improved in any way.

Great value for the location and price. Friendly staff who were always willing to help. The free pasta and rice was a nice touch. The location was central and close to supermarkets and cafes/restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of movies to watch and a well equipped kitchen.
The common areas were small and often crowded. The kitchen could have been cleaner.

There were some nice complementary treats at this hostel, like chocolate eggs over Easter, and free pasta or rice. the location was great, with easy access to local attractions and public transport. the hostel also had a nice outdoor area to relax and meet other travelers.
The hostel could use some updates, like more power outlets in the rooms and better lighting. the rooms and bathrooms were also quite basic and not particularly clean.

The rooms are basic but comfortable, with bunk beds that offer enough space for a good night's sleep. The double rooms also have their own bathrooms, which is a nice touch.
