I have to say, considering what I was paying, I found this to be an excellent night. The owners were friendly and on the ball, changing my room upon arrival as they had an empty room free. I was able to sleep quite comfortably, with no noise problems which surprised me greatly considering the railway line across the way. The... More

Iv stayed here for 3 years for a week at a time for trade school. It is a good place 2 stay good for price and nice people that owne it to. Clean and nice rusty look for a looks good for a 150 year old pub. there is some times nose that comes from the pub but for the... More

The worst thing about this run down, dirty place is the constant noise. Noise from the trains and traffic outside, noise from the fowl mouthed guests running around and screaming late at night and worst of all, noise from the drunken people at the pub downstairs, outside and sometimes when they venture upstairs outside the rooms! Will never, ever consider... More

Great value accommodation. Clean, warm, central location. I had eaten at the club across the road - staff were lovely - but food was a bit light on (& I'm not a big eater). Wish I had eaten downstairs here - the food looked fabulous !! Getting in before 5 pm on your first day can be an issue (which... More

Ok, clean sheets, clean(ish) bathrooms (seen far worse, mostly aged looking but not dirty as such), cheapest place to stay in town. That's IT. The noise from the traffic and trains was unbelievable! I asked to shift to... More

Unlike the previous review dated July 2010, we had a great stay at the hostel which was full of guests! We found that at $65 for a double room to ourselves we definitely got our monies worth.The bed was very comfortable and the bathrooms were modern and clean.Down stairs we were greeted by friendly bar staff, and we had a...

Whilst travelling we booked online a day or two ahead as the website seemed to promise a budget but clean accommodation. We got a mobile number to ring when we are near, which should have raised alarm bells. The parking space around the back looked like a dumpsite. We were greeted by two women who had just arrived with some... More
