    9.6 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
    This place is like a well-worn home - the furniture and countertops have seen better days, but they are cleaned incessantly by the hardworking staff and the kitchen is fully equipped. There are hairdryers in the bathrooms, enough hooks in all the shower stalls and lots of toilets so you never have to queue. There are power outlets for each of the bunk beds (they even installed them on the ceiling when they ran out of room on the walls), fans and heaters in the dorms. There is space underneath the bunk beds to slide suitcases. The location is steps away from the InterCity bus stop, there's a Pak n' Save a short walk away, and it's right in the middle of downtown so there are tons of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby. That being said, the rooms are upstairs so it's fairly quiet at night. Everyone is so friendly and helpful that you feel right at home. Highly recommend!
