I found the beds comfortable and I liked the little curtain for a bit of privacy in the shared room. They were able to accommodate a request for a bottom bunk which was also nice. The only thing I found a bit challenging was the dim lighting everywhere. It made it a bit hard to see at times but overall, I'd stay here again. The location was great - walking distance to almost everything I did. ##### Autumn Lyn Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lilly 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fairly quiet, clean.

Good amenities and close to bus stops. Good restaurant options nearby, and a nice view of the sea. Someone checked in really late (just after midnight), blaring music and talking loudly and waking everyone up, but that was likely an isolated incident. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel, clean, convenient, breakfast option great! ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff here made my stay really lovely from early check in to a smooth check out.

We have booked a room for four and the room is considered a bit small for 4 people and even more difficult to fully open the 4 luggages when the sofa bed is opened. ##### King Yee Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea 3 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location and vibe, staff was very friendly and helpful. There was construction happening next door which impacted some tour pick-ups but the alternate location is a bus stop only a 5 minute walk. We had a compact room with a private bathroom which was clean and comfortable. ##### Andrea Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing!
