9 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
We visited to attend the local shanty festival- the staff have been amazing- helping out with information about the local area and facilities. The hostel is clean , central and t well organised. Cannot fault it. We will definitely come back if we can.
We have had no issues.

7 / 10Good·Jun 2026
Location fab, place was clean, kitchen was useful.
The dorm door really needed to be pulled closed, otherwise it was not shut. Cleaners left it open too by accident. The mattress had a dip in the middle but that wasn’t a massive surprise given cost and use.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Location is excellent. Facilities good for a backpacker hostel. Staff friendly.
Couldn’t find the kitchen light switch for early breakfast! Needs a sign. Remember your earplugs for the pesky seagulls and hourly church bells.
