Tatty and tacky! Old carpet troughout (with the accompanying smell), crammed bedrooms (u so wish they had invested in bunks, at least u could move in the room), tiny bathrooms (u cant shut the door without twisting urself), cracking paint everywhere and last but not least a tacky “’nautical theme” with everything from duvet covers to shower curtains with fishes and mermaids (i felt like an 8 yo girl).

Much is made of the fact that Neptunes doesn't have bunk beds - and that would be a major point in its favour if the beds it does have weren't so old and saggy that they're impossible to sleep on.

Everything about this hostel is screaming for it to be redecorated - Lonely Planet talks about its "nautical theme" but the painted mermaids are faded and the carpets, walls and, well, everything is just shabby.

Location is ok, but from the centre of town it's quite an intimidating walk back down deserted streets after dark.

Building is old and run down. Stuff coming off the walls. Pieces of carpets missing. Same for forniture. Filthy. Maybe Steve (or "the lazy bast..." as he introduced himself), the owner, should consider renovating the place. Not recommended, considering that it is not even cheaper than any other hostel.

Neptunes was a wonderful place to stay - they have small rooms, no bunks, and more importantly BATHS, I was so happy to see a bath after months of traveling.

The staff were lovely, the kitchen small but perfectly formed. Highly recommend.
