Liked: excellent location, good common areas, 24hour recption; the room was quite cramped for 6 people plus their stuff was the downside and they could use new carpet etc (a few stains etc around). Also, not enough power points in the rooms - had to charge stuff in the common areas

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: Only Hostel I have seen in the the northeast that serves breakfast. Not that you can expect anything fancy, but soemthing to start your day on. AND the staff is very helpful without seeming too professional. You even get flip flops as you check in.

Customer review

18 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The place is so nice and really friendly (people, staff, etc.). But in my opinion, it looks like a hotel and in each room they put several bed. So, for each room they have around 200 dollars per day. For this reason. I think that the hotel is a bit expensive to be a Hostel. However, the locationand facilities are really good.
