Verified traveller

Very good kitchen facilities, good room.
Room was fine for a standard hostel, very basic. We had a private room. Kitchen area was GREAT so many ovens and stove tops, loads of fridges for food......really good. The one thing that drove us INSANE on a 40 degree day, you had to go down to reception to get the AC turned on/off. So we are calling reception at 2am to get it turned off, no one answers, so we have to walk down the stairs at 2am. Just really puffed us off. I understand why they do it, but it meant we were then away till 4am trying to get back to sleep after going downstairs

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Please be aware, the place has homeless people coming there in the evening. The shared bathrooms are dirty, had shavings all over. I was afraid for my mom with what looked like addicts/homeless people all around the area and at the place. After paying for the room and paying for parking and going out till the evening before bringing my stuff in, I felt uncomfortable/unsafe there. I dropped the keys off and checked out, booking a better place the night of...

Great hostel and location. Had an ensuite room with view over the park. Nice bed and great facilities. Kitchen is a bit of a mess when I was there and people not doing dishes but other than that friendly reception team and nice place. Close to the bus stop to/from the airport.
