I stayed in a single room which was well-equipped with a fridge, table and chair and a wardrobe unit. It was a very spacious clean room with good air-con. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The pool is great for cooling off on a hot summer day and the views from there are beautiful. More

After reading several very negative reviews here I was terrified that walking into the hostel would see our group dead within minutes. Yes it is basic, yes it is an old motel, yes the rooms are just a bed simple desk and bar fridge. But it is clean and serviceable. Air con worked. Some noisy revelers were asked to move... More

It's cheap, but that doesn't excuse the basic lack of attention to the health and safety of guests. The kitchen was by far the worst backpackers kitchen we have seen in seven months of travel across SE Asia, NZ and Australia. First impressions are of cleanliness and space, but birds (and a chicken?!) fly and wander freely in ... pigeons... More

Booked to stay here for 1 night. We did email to inform the hostel that we would be a late arrival but when we arrived at 1am after getting a greyhound bus we found no keys left out for us. We tried calling the number on the door that is for emergencies but no answer. We called several times until... More

I booked to stay here the first week in August through Booking.com, as I was due to arrive late I phoned them and they said yes that was fine but I had to leave my credit card details - BIG MISTAKE! I ended up having to work instead so cancelled my booking which was fine as it was a free... More

The rooms are OK, and the staff were pretty helpful, but I got pretty much no sleep while I was staying here. Sound travels very well from the outdoor communal areas, and partying went on pretty much all night on the weekend. The staff did make an effort to close things down at 11pm each night, and there's a number... More

Do yourself a favour and avoid this one like the plague. Filthy rooms, bathrooms, itinerants lurking and rude staff mad this staff a very unpleasant one. The pool has definitely seen better days and while I was there there were power leads running through pools of water - major safety hazard! More

Horrible backpackers resort, with a lot of unfriendly long-stayers that shouldn't be there. The place is incredibly dirty, cheap, run-down and cramped. Do not expect any sleep whatsoever if you do stay, the long-stayers make it impossible with their constant yelling until 6am in the morning! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!! More
