Good value for money, great...

Liked: The hostel was very friendly and the private rooms were a bonus. The rooftop is a great spot to watch the sunset from. The location was also very good - well connected with public transport and within walkable distance from the city centre.
Disliked: The kitchen had no facilities for making food - only fridge and a sink available for use (no pots/pans/cutlery/crockery). The building is quite old and run down which meant that the rooms and bathrooms were also very basic but mostly clean.

Ropey room but adequate for...

Liked: It was cheap and basic, which was all that I needed and expected at this price. There was not much disturbance from other guests due to solid construction and a steel door. No problems with check-in & -out and easy coming and going. They allowed me slightly earlier access to breakfast one day, when I had an early pick-up (excursion). View of the CBD although partly blocked by desk - see below.
Disliked: The room was in poor condition: shaky electrical sockets; sliding window that was extremely stiff and single glazed (letting in street noise) with a rotted sill; door didn't close unless slammed. Furniture didn't fit the room: the bed had a wooden frame making it too wide (tending to obstruct the door), and the desk had an upstand, partly blocking the window. It was (as expected) a student study-bedroom, but poorly planned and maintained.
