10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Feb 2026
Warm. Breakfast available too.
Ladder on bunks can be tricky and sore to climb.
9.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2026
Staff were very friendly, check in was very quick. Room was lovely and clean bed was very comfy. Breakfast was nice next morning and plenty of facilities. Very short walk to Eyre sq and nightlife. Overall excellent will definitely stay again
No real changes I think.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
very central and easy to access
There is a lot of noise in the hallways and people running and shouting, which makes it difficult to rest at night.
