Location was convenient and friendly staff made the stay even better.
Bedding smelt off but not sure if that was some kind of room spray.

Great place to stay. David was very helpful at check in. Great kitchen facilities. Lovely area to sit outside and chill.

Free hot chocolate in the kitchen, lovely vibe overall, very convenient location.
One of the staff working there (David?) was really pleasant and warm.
One of the check-in staff was pleasant enough but did not exactly provide the friendliest welcome or farewell. To be clear, she wasn't rude. Just rather abrupt, matter-of-fact, even on departure as we handed in keys etc.
In contrast, however, there was another a guy who is super warm and friendly and clearly enjoys his job and the hostel. That was really nice.
The showers at ~5pm, which is when check-in opens and a whole bunch of people arrive, are luke warm. That happened twice in a row, even when I thought I was probably one of the first in the showers. Perhaps it's an electric boiler rather than instant gas heating.
No ventilation / fan in shower cubicles makes it pretty stuffy/humid.
Sheets on the beds were definitely cleaned, but a few stray hairs were drifting around.

Kitchen facilities were good. Beds were good. It is a backpackers hostel so expectations were not high.
Too few toilets for the number of people accommodated, shower would not run hot. It was just a backpackers hostel but these are basic things.
