6.6 out of 10, (36)
"It's cheap hostel in We End but you will get what you paid. Just don't expect much of $16 per night. At least you can have a car parking for free if you have one. There are 2 buildings of the hostel, White and Green, it seems the Green one is for the people who live there for ages but the White one is for new guests. But yeah seems most of people who staying in the hostel have been here a ages. *** the booking website said that you've already paid for the first night or what but the true is...

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (1450)
"I really enjoyed staying here. Although it’s an older building with old fashion furniture, there was so much room. It was the first spacious place I stayed at. Bathroom was nice and having an in-suite laundry and dryer really did it for me. The are felt safe and is very walkable. You have everything from bars to restaurants to shopping to groceries. The only thing I would say is that if you’re into clubbing, you’re about 15min drive from the action so if that’s your thing, keep this in mind....
