Liked: It is in a great location downtown, easy access by transit

Disliked: The stairwell was smelly going downstairs to my room, however; it was old carpet... and the place itself is very clean.

Customer review

25 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Although the whole experience was ok since it was sorta conveniently located, some points listed were not always true. It stated that there was free Wi-fi but it turns out that the hostel doesn't have it, instead it turns out that the Wi-fi is from downstairs but unless you're at the pub itself, you can't get even a bit of a signal. Instead, the signal is from the hotel, The coast, which is next door and depending on where you sit in the lobby, you might not get a connection at all. Also, it was stated there will be hair-dryers but there wasn't, and I ended up having to buy my own. But overall, I guess the whole experience was ok, sometimes the magnet key cards didn't work so well but minus the no food/drinks in your rooms, the staff was pretty friendly.
