Well run and clean property with few signs of wear and tear despite high usage. Bathrooms were clean and air-circulation was good. Only the kitchen ficilities let things down slightly due to high usage (taps loose in their fittings, communal scouring pads need more frequent replacement - one microwave was inoperable). But would definitely stay again.

Like a little hostel resort! Everyone was super lovely and vibes were immaculate. They’ve done a heap of renovations and opened a free gym, cafe, restaurant, vending machines and don’t have to leave the place to get food!

Public areas are well maintained, staff are super helpful and generous. Got upgraded a couple of times. Love that they have a gym room, a tiny one but good enough for a hostel.

It was very clean, staff so nice, kitchen perfect and clean. Many area to bien cool, to seat. A very nice hostel. Just very noisy at my floor during the night so difficult to sleep. People have to make some party downstairs. But just this negative point !

The rooms are a good size but lack ventilation and as a result smell like a high school gym changing room. The beds are ok but rather small. If you are taller that 5’9 you aren’t Going to have a great time
