speakers pump very loud music right towards the direction of the rooms every night of the wkend until at least 3am,travelling, people are going to be doing activities which means for the majority,early starts, so forget about getting any sleep here.it wouldn't have hurt to prvide a towel in the ensuite rooms

Room service was supposed to come but only came once during stay. We had to argue a long time to get the website promised 10% off of trips booked there. We had to go to the front desk twice to finally get new towels. The internet pcs there are a mess and do not really work. It is extremely loud in all rooms due to the techno disco out front. When asked to call a taxi for us the guy did not do it and we almost missed the plane. Unfriendly staff, too noisey - I would not go there again!

I loved staying at Shenannigans! I met some amazing people and had alot of fun. The staff are mega friendly and can\'t do enough to help you. Free internt is good, a thoughtful touch and the free breakfast helps those on a budget(If you\'re up in time for it) The bar downstairs is a good laugh with discounts for people staying there (jug of beer $7! bargin!) The music is played loud untill about 2am thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. The kitchen is huge for cooking. The hostel has lots of sociable places, you can walk into the kitchen, T.V room or balcony and find people to talk to. Toliets and showers kept v.clean (thumbs up to the cleaners!) Everyone there is so friendly and you\'re bound to make friends!

The Bar was really nice and it was great that you get a deal with food in the bar but the rooms weren't the cleanest and they didn't seem to have much organised in comparison to other hostels I've been to.

Looks quite shabby from the outside, however the staff keep the place pretty clean. There needs to be more than just one blunt knife supplied in the kitchen. Thumbs up for the free breakfasts. Avoid the room without a window.

If bar music keeps you awake then beware, but we had no problems with it. Room was cleaned well by staff, but we did encounter a killer cockraoch on our last night. Not entirely the hostel's fault but certainly not all too comfy either. Staff was friendly and helpful which was really nice. Would stay again.

Located directly beside a pub with life music 4 out of 7 days per week. for compensation you get 50% price reduction for good meals and drinks at the pub. So you have to make your priorities
