Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff were nice, although one lass seemed really confused every time I spoke to her. The room itself was clean, beds were comfortable enough, but the bathrooms were disgusting. There was always water on the floor of the toilets, the sanitary bins were overflowing, the hand dryer didn't work and it was just generally unpleasant and run down.

Staff at reception were kind and offered various suggestions on what to do/where to eat around the area when I asked. The facilities were clean, quiet, and amenities are nothing crazy but offered multiple clean spaces to hang in. New to travelling and first hostel stay, honestly have no complaints!

Great price for short stay.

Mine was an overnight stay for business reasons. I knew I would not be spending much time at the property because of the business commitments so just needed somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep. The Maze suited my convenience perfectly. I booked a private room with shared bathroom facilities, which were spotless and convenient to my room.

The beds were comfy and the location is excellent. The kitchen was pretty clean and there seemed to be plenty of equipment for use. The towel was a nice touch. However, this hostel was not the cleanest. The rooms didn’t feel especially clean (although the bedding did). The bathrooms were definitely not very clean. The sanitary bins were overflowing
