Liked: It's location makes it a winner. Literally 50 meters from the train station and right in the middle of the old town. Views out over Queens Park.

Disliked: It's incredibly basic. The beds are comfortable but the rooms are run down and threadbare. Curtains hardly covered the windows and were broken. Breakfast was less than basic but then again it was included.

Liked: The location was amazing, just right across from Wavelery Station. It was within walking distance to all of the major attractions in the city. The staff were really fantastic, friendly, and helpful. I would stay here again.

Disliked: I didn't really dislike anything about the property. Things were a bit noisy because we were across from a club, but there was nothing about the hostel that was wrong.

Liked: It was great that breakfast was included, secure storage for luggage both in the room and in the luggage store. Was great that the hostel had a lift (I was on 3rd floor) and the ensuite was perfectly good. There was an oil heater and the radiator worked which was great for when I got back soaking! My view was superb. The staff were absolutely lovely and the whole place had a nice atmosphere.

Disliked: It could have been cleaner and the room could have been bigger but given the cost it feels churlish to mention this. The bedding and bathroom were perfectly clean which were the main things.

Liked: They have made the beds for you when u get there, they also have a really good free breakfast and a good menu as they are also affiliated with a bar that serves some good food if your too tired to go out!

Disliked: The lift didn't really work, especially if you were on the 3rd floor trying to go down with your pack. Also the wifi kept not working when I was there

Liked: Great central location - easy to find. I was on a motorbike, so the nearby (free) parking was great. Mixture of quiet and 'noise' when you wanted it - though was pretty dead in the bar on the monday night.

Disliked: Nothing really - some kitchen facilities would have been nice - tea and coffee making in the lounge area, but I'm nit picking really.
