Liked: Location was good, showers and bathrooms were clean. Hairdryers in bathroom were useful feature but not sure how safe having electric hairdryers right above the sink units is!A great kitchen with good equipment and really nice tables and benches at which to eat.
Disliked: In my view I'm not sure why the Lonely Planet rates this hostel so highly. it was just average for me, the decor felt dark and a bit drab and I didn't find the staff particularly friendly or helpful. The main kitchen and lounge area are locked at 10.30pm which is pretty early, only leaving a very small lounge area open which isn't big enough for more than 6 or so guests at a time. Plastic covered duvets (with covers though)-YUCK!

Liked: It's all good, except it's a bit far away if you arrive by bus and have to drag a heavy backpack. It's no problem with a wheely one though. And only one washing machine and dryer, so if the place is fully booked, there is a queue.
Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
