Host is a very lovely man, and welcoming. It was worth the money.

Pros: I loved the fact that it had a kitchen and I was able to make something when I wanted.

Satisfied

Pros: Very clean, large kitchen, and the beds were comfortable. Had a very laid-back family-type atmosphere with a happy, friendly guy running it. It's about a half hour's bus ride from the city centre with bus stops right outside.

Cons: This is not a typical travellers' hostel, with young tourists coming and going etc. It's more of an old-fashioned dosshouse with only three other people staying there, which is actually okay if you just want somewhere to spend a night or two with no fuss. Like I say it was very clean and I was made to feel very welcome.

Amazing stay, everyone was so friendly and felt safe the entire time

Pros: The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’ll need for cooking and space in fridge to put your food

Cons: Squeaky beds and duvet cover didn’t fit on duvet properly

Overall great experience and great value for money.

Pros: Really friendly and helpful staff, facilities were great (kitchen, shower, etc.). Beds nice and comfy. Location is fairly far from the city centre, but there is a bus stop directly outside the hostel so easy to access at all times (even late at night).

Give it a try

Pros: It's a great way to meet new people, great value for money, 2 shared bathrooms and a shared kitchen, roof top seating and a pub and takeaways literally 1 minute for the place and free parking

Cons: While walking around I think it is a slightly rough area
