Staff were lovely, parking was a pain until I knew of paid secure parking. Only problems there isn't much for children to do there and no nearby parks. Also there was a permanent smell in the woman's toilets on G level. Overall though great for a tempory stay. Don't forget to label your food 😉

Handy location. Walking distance to Central Market, library, museum and many coffee shops. Recommend Elementary Coffee which is a couple streets down. We stayed in a private with ensuite and it was everything we needed. Had never stayed in a hostel before and as the mom of 20 somethings thought it was all dorms. It’s not and there were others my age or older.

it was the worst dormitory hostel experience I have ever had. From the moment I arrived, everything was wrong. The check-in process was slow and inefficient. The hostel staff was rude and unhelpful. When I finally got to my dorm room, I was horrified. It was filthy. The beds were unmade, the sheets were dirty, and the floor was covered in crumbs. There was even a cockroach crawling on the wall. I asked about lockers, and they told me that there were lockers in the dorm room, but they didn't have locks. I was shocked. How could they expect guests to keep their belongings safe if the lockers didn't have locks? I was so exhausted that I decided to just try to sleep. But it was impossible. The bed was uncomfortable, the room was noisy, and I couldn't stop thinking about the cockroach. I checked out first thing in the morning and went to a different hostel. I would never recommend this hostel to anyone. It is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in.

Clean, comfortable and affordable
I stayed in a single room at YHA for 5 nights and really enjoyed my experience. All staff were super friendly and happy to help wherever they could. Having staff available at all hours of the day was also handy. The shared kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and salt/pepper, and there was always room to cook alongside other guests. Travelling for work, I particularly enjoyed the number of spaces available for me to work when I needed a change of scenery. Wifi was also excellent. Room was very large and clean, and the shared bathroom was also clean (despite a number of showers being out of order, I never had to wait for facilities). Highly recommend the YHA as an affordable, comfortable accommodation option!
