My friend and I didn’t enjoy our stay here. It is cheap and if you’re a very easy sleeper you may enjoy it. Toilets were filthy. The YHA down the road is much better; spend a few dollars extra and stay there instead.

Humid, scratchy nights sleep

We thought this would be a typical backpackers with lots of travelers but most of the people staying her appeared to be permanent residents. All were friendly. the main social area is a courtyard right next to all the private bedrooms. So little sleep to be had due to loud music and voices. The room was clean enough but if your are more than about 185cm you are not going to be able to stretch out in bed as it fits very snugly between the walls of the room. Half of the showers were out of service. overpriced for the quality

not what we expected

Not a very clean place. Very less no of washrooms. Many people stay here permanently. So not the ideal place if you want to meet tourists from other places. They take key deposit as well. Location is good.

Not up to the mark

I only stayed here because my original hostel booking got messed up and the rest of the town was 100% booked on the night. A girl from another hostel even said it’s “the last place you want to stay” but I hadn’t much choice. 
   I’ve travelled a lot , had a few dodgy hostel experiences but this was by far the worst. It smelled unclean as I walked in the door. My bedroom was tiny , smelled of stale cigarette smoke and I am pretty sure someone had slept in the bed before me as the sheets didn’t seem clean at all. Toilets were gross and I couldn’t even bring myself to use the shower because the area around it was so dirty. 
  A very random crowd of people seemed to be permanently living there . I see what it gets such bad ratings because it shouldn’t be open to backpackers. $35 for a bed was ridiculous and I know that 2 girls in my same room were charged $38 each which seemed a complete rip off.  Never ever stay there even if you have no bed , I’d rather have slept on the street !! 

The WORST hostel I have ever stayed in 

Most horrible place on earth, DO NOT STAY. Not spending any time writing here as this place just does not deserve my time. So just to let you know, DO NOT STAY even if its a private room. Manager needs to find a new job.
