“Quite a walk from the city, hostel is dirty and not enough toilets/showers... but reception are friendly”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

The hostel was quite a walk away from the city and bus stop.
When we got there the hostel was dirty and seemed to be very neglected. There was only one toilet and two showers between all the dorms.
The cleaner was very rude and arrogant, swearing all the time. We heard horror stories that he stole and was racist which scared up.
The upside is the receptionist is very lovely!!

“Horror film!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2011

Arrived at hostel to find reception closed, rang the manager and they arrived an hour later!
We were then given a key to an eleven bed dorm, with NO bed's free!!! The manager then moved us to a four bed dorm at no extra cost. We were given our sheet's to make our bed's up. The sheet's were filthy with stain's all over them but the worst thing was the top bunk mattress seemed to have been used in a murder. It was covered on both sides with blood and lot's of it! How they can expect people to pay for this I don't know.
