22 November 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: RIGHT NEXT DOOR TOO TRAIN!Very very clean... Great bed... Free internet... Cheap breakfast... Location pretty good... GREAT STAFF!!! They were SOOO HELPFUL with everything that I asked. Let me store stuff in a safety locker (my laptop) while I was out the whole day and not even staying the following night for FREE along with another bag in the luggage room!

Disliked: Well, the rooms did not have outlets for your stuff, but I mean just use the common room... small things like that are annoying but everything else worked great. There are also no safety boxes in the rooms themselves which was annoying, but you can do it at the reception if you dont need it from 11pm-8am, or just put it by your bed.

03 November 2010

Liked: Overall, we had a reasonable stay at The Hostel. It was good to have free wifi. It felt secure as there were loads of security cameras around and a good lock system. It was in a good location, literally right in front of Haymarket station and close to supermarket, post office, pubs etc. The staff were nice and helpful. Everything seemed quite clean/organised.

Disliked: Even though there is nothing drastic that I disliked, I found there were many, many little things here and there that werent up to standard. Firstly, there were NOT enough powerpoints!!!!!!!!!!!!! No powerpoints in the rooms, and only several in the common areas which made charging laptops/phones nearly impossible with a very busy hostel. The rooms were FREEZING cold and the bathrooms were cold as well, which made showering particularly uncomfortable. Bathrooms were shared gender, which to be honest, was a bit awkward at times. Even though it was good to have a kitchen, it really wasnt up to capacity standard - as it was crowded and there wasnt enough mugs, bowls etc for everyone, which meant - chances are, you miss out! The rooms were very small (room of 8) and there wasnt sufficient luggage areas in them, meaning that to get out of the room, walking through an already narrow pathway between beds was even more obstructed by bags and other belongings,.

Liked: It is easy to get to right across from Haymarket trainstation. Great place if you need to get to the airport early.

Disliked: The kitchen closes at night and doesn't open until 8 the next morning. If you need to leave early this is inconvenient. The dorms were quite cramped and the sheetbag was too small.
