Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
To start with, I didn’t get my access code to the front door for which I had to stay outside and talk over for 20 minutes because the lady In reception was not able to locate my booking. After I got in all the lower beds of my room were taken so I had to take one of the top beds where there was no access to power outlet. I asked if any extension cable was available but there was none.

Disliked: Amenities
I would stay here again because the price was unbeatable includes a basic breakfast or cereal or toast tea/coffee AND its got to be the easiest hostel to get to from the airport!!! The hostel is less then 5 minutes walk from the airport shuttle bus - literally walked in a straight line and i was there. So easy to find. They had an option for after hours checkin too. Only dislike was there is no elevator, i had to carry 30 kgs up 3 flights of stairs late at night.
