Very clean, in terms of safety it was quite good although they do need to add secure lockers!

it's a small and friendly hostel. location was great for us since we didn't want to stay in one of those huge backpacker party hostels right inside the city. jj's is just a short walk from the city and they also run shuttle busses frequently. PLUS: free brekky and dinner

Really nice and quiet place with a bit older crowd - nice to get away from the usual backpacker scene. The staff was super nice. It's a bit away from the centre but there's the shuttle bus. Would definitely go back there!

Good staff, nice rooms. In a perfect world it would be a couple blocks closer to the central buisness district, however it is a short 15 minute walk if unable to catch a shuttle.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, however lack of bathrooms and despite being given a female only dorm, still had to share a bathroom with males - not good! The hostel is quite out of town the free shuttle buses were good but finished at 9.30pm which wasnt great

Very friendly staff and a great meeting place for backpackers. Do not expect a great breakfast but the evening meal is good. It`s a cheap accomodation which also means few services, however a friendly place.

Small, clean, friendly! Love it!

A little far from the city centre, but they have free shuttles running several times a day back and forth. Free dinner and breakfast was great and a supermarket sits about a block away if you want to do your own cooking. Only 3 beds to a room made staying a hostel a bit more comfortable. Enjoyed my stay here.

The airport pick-up and shuttle transportation between the hotel and CBD is very convenience for guests.
