The staff were very accommodating and made the overall experience pleasant. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with any requests. However, one issue I noticed was that the toilets didn’t flush properly, which was a bit inconvenient.otherwise great service.

I honestly love this place, cut through the train station, across the road and 2 min walk, perfect. The staff are always there for whatever you need. The breakfast might not be a hot one, but definitely worth the price, and the cartoons are hilarious - I’m a big kid at heart. I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but if ya’s are in a group, it’s a lot easier… Bar across the road serves breakfast and has awesome prices with the wee deal card. Apart from one other place I’ve found, this would be my choice!

Extremely helpful and friendly front desk! Rooms were perfect, bathrooms / toilets were kept clean, excellent location close to everything (I didn't even have to take public transit!). The only con is the common areas aren't big enough or nice enough given the number of people the hostel.

Great location, friendly staff, good selection of bunk/room options & optional breakfast. Only 2 toilets/showers for many bunks. Clean from first glance, but dirty walls in bunks & bathroom floors.
