10 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: the bar was great for meeting people and cheap for drinking in before going out

Disliked: the no byo drink was a bit annoying...when you're staying in a hostel you're obviously on a budget, so can't really afford to be buying drinks at the hostel bar...on top of drinks out in town.

Liked: Good bar with $9 jugs at happy hour! Free shuttle into town.

Disliked: The kitchen facilities weren't great and the rooms aren't very soundproofed at all so you have to listen to the bar music until it ends.
