Great location and very secure. HOWEVER: the blankets were covered in hair and the bathroom was not well cleaned. Kitchen poorly equipped. If you are looking for a good night's sleep, forget it - the bar in the lobby playing loud music renders that impossible. andrea, from USA ~ 9th Nov 2009

Sound proofing is obviously well below par as the noise from the bar across the road was extremely loud and penetrative Paul, from New Zealand ~ 30th Oct 2009

This was a nice hostel in terms of layout, themes etc. A great hostel to stay in if you are out to party. We arrivied at 12.30am Saturday morning and it was too noisy to sleep until 3am (we had to get up at 6am). Staff took nearly 30 mins to get our key working. In the morning there was blood in one sink and vomit in another - we used the only clean one available. Bronwyn, from New Zealand ~ 27th Oct 2009

Sheets were stinky. Heater turns off every half an hour, I think. it's freezing during winter! One staff was a little rude, I asked for extra blanket because it was cold and the heater turns off, and the response was, "Is it really that cold" with a condescending tone.

The bedroom is not bad. Large Lounge room. But the shower sometimes is unstable, so cold. Run, from China ~ 1st Aug 2009
