Great hostel in the centre of the city.
Quick electronic check in/out. Short walk to everything. Excellent kitchen facilities. I stayed in a private room (shared bathroom) which was a decent size and very comfortable. The bed, pillows and sheets felt high end. I would definitely stay again.

The facilities were modern and nice, but the toilet paper was constantly out, and overall, the cleanliness was very poor.

Great Hostel
Great accommodation in a brilliant location. Clean and very modern.
The only problem is the walls are paper thin. We had an issue with a noisy guest. Chris from reception
came up immediately and dealt with the problem.
We enjoyed our stay.

Great location right by waterfront in city. The bathroom on our floor wasn’t particularly clean. Other than that it was a good stay.

The pictures of the property were a far cry from reality. Both on the outside and the inside. Worst of all our floor smelt of wet shoes and dirty clothing, and the bedding was stained and looked like it had not been changed.
