“Horribly run down, cold and noisy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Bad points - run down, old rooms, stained carpets, most bathrooms closed awaiting repair, expensive internet access, bad service, cold and noisy due to old windows that didn't shut properly, expensive for what you get (nothing!)

Good points - location (reasonably central), hot showers, beds ok, decent sized rooms, free parking

Would not stay here again, got a campervan and stayed in a nice campsite instead!

“Avoid”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

It's basically a boarding house. No sign of other backpackers/ travelers and a lot of dodgy characters. We were also locked out after coming back late one night which we hadnt been warned about.

Given the number of excellent hostels in the area, there should be no need for anyone to stay here.
