"Substandard compared to any other YHA/HI I've stayed in, Australia or overseas. Rooms are being renovated and these are adequate with modern bathrooms but other practices such as deposit for room key, $1 to hire a towel, having to make own bed on arrival and poor overall condition of facility drag it down."

"There was refurbishing work being carried out...I was not notified about this upon booking. The six-bed room was small. There was little space to put bags. There would normally only be 4 beds in a room this size. Another guest in the room had his sheets and his own pillow removed. His iPod has not been returned at time of writing (12 hours later-it was in his pillowcase)"

"Nice hostel. There is building work going on and the common areas don't look particularly clean. However, the room was clean which is what really matters. The security of the left luggage is not good. They provide you with a tag but don't bother looking at it when you come to pick up your luggage. Also, they just give you the key to the left luggage room so you could take anyone's luggage."

"Below par compared to other YHA's. This is a shame as I love YHA's and am a member. I did not find the room good value for money and found it damp and in need of a lick of paint. As the door to my room was directly onto the outside, I felt unsafe as a single female traveller on what is a noisy street full of bars. The sports bar next door adds to the lack of appeal.I would not recommend this."
