Enjoyable, met all my needs,...

Liked: Jesse was a very happy, friendly face on front counter on my arrival. The vibe of the people in the common room was relaxed and convivial. Front door, stair and room security was comforting as was the cctv monitoring. Kitchen was well laid out and complimentary breakfast was an added bonus. Like it that we all had to strip our bedding and clean up after ourselves in the kitchen. Like the signage indicating and reminding us that we had to be respectful of others regarding noise and behaviour.
Disliked: I was in room 23 on a Saturday night and there was noise from the street/cafe adjoining the building. Not too bad and not something you can control but that was the only downside.

Great Location and Social Atmosphere,...

Liked: The location is excellent — very close to the airport express bus stop, tourist attractions, public transportation, and supermarkets. The hostel’s common area is conveniently located next to the shared kitchen and creates a pleasant social atmosphere. This was definitely the highlight, as it encouraged great interaction among travelers.
Disliked: The room is not very spacious, and the beds lack privacy curtains and individual power outlets. Breakfast is quite basic and does not include any protein options.
