7 / 10Good·Jun 2026
The staff are brilliant. The prices are great. Good bar. Very little to complain about. It is loud but they do pre-warn you on multiple occasions before and after booking..
I guess the kitchen could be doing with a kettle.

Great location. Fridge in every room. Nice staff.
A bit loud at night, difficult to sleep
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
Private room was spacious with comfy bed! Good working showers and in a good location right next to Rusty’s market! Loved fan and aircon made life/sleeping a lot easier
Kinda loud if you go to bed semi early but that’s hostel life!
6 / 10Average·May 2026
Location is great but for the loud music next door. Room was large and had some amenities. Had to ask the staff for missing amenities and room cleaning.
Cleanliness could be improved. Common kitchen area needs a stronger dishwashing detergent.
