Overall it was a good night stay. Although we had the view as the room was in front, the noise of others can be heard like footsteps and even the smell of people smoking is coming inside the room.

Good location close to the main part of town. The water pressure was really poor and the heaters in our room and bathroom were also really poor. The shared areas were nice and the fireplace in both were great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall probably pretty good for a hostel but still could be better.

We had a self contained unit with bathroom and kitchenette. It was clean, had everything we needed, was close to everything, and everyone was really friendly. The bathroom was tiny and the decor was a little tired but it was clean and the beds were really comfortable. In short, it is fantastic, value for money accommodation

We know that this is a hostel but at least there should be a time for other guests to minimize noises. We stayed at an ensuite private room no. 3, next room no. 4 who were so noisy, at 11:45pm I couldn't help myself but knocked on their wall to signal that they were so noisy. Even just a notice on each room's wall no minimize the noise from 11pm, other guests need to rest and sleep. Thanks.
