    Easy check in. All other guests were quiet and kept to themselves. Loved how enclosed I could make the bed so that I didn't really feel like I was sharing a room with 5 strangers. Just a perfect place for one night.

    Nice modern facilities. Curtains on the bunk beds. Friendly security guard at the door. Friendly atmosphere and cosy spaces.

    One of the cleaner hostels I’ve stayed at. I liked that the bathroom was located inside the room rather than a walk down the corridor, and the beds were cozy as well as quiet. Would recommend!

    When I arrived at my dorm, I realised I accidentally booked the normal ensuite, instead of the female ensuite. I was happily assisted by a friendly receptionist Eion, who helped me swap it without any issues! The staff here are always welcoming,...
