kitchen

The hostel was a nice base to explore the region. On check in you get cutlery and plates. However in the kitchen everything is sticky. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean. A recommendation for the hostel would be to provide a tea towel to dry your own kitchen ware. Overall good stay and friendly staff 

Good base

Picked YHA as usually they are clean, reliable and pretty quiet.
If you want to be able to sleep... probs wouldn't stay here. Pretty much everyone is using it as a working hostel... so expect to be woken up at 6am to people talking (shouting). There doesn’t seem to be any noise restrictions in place.. so ignore the posters.

Over cleanliness.. again pretty shocking. I know it’s a hostel but does let the YHA name down.

Don't recommend

This is more of a 3.5 star review but alas that's not an option. 

The main hostel staff was really nice and accommodating for my foot injury, which was really kind of them. I had good interactions with them and found them to be very helpful and responsive.

The wifi at the hostel is great and the kitchen has good storage.

My main issues with my stay were big ones though, which is noise and temperature. There is very little insulation in the hostel so it gets VERY cold inside. Rooms have central heat though, which is huge and great at night. But bathrooms are cold as well.

The volume of noise that reverberates in this hostel was really surprising and the worst I've had on any hostel stay so far. You hear literally everything, from someone pooping in the bathroom next door to any step taken in the hostel area. Main guests are young WHV kids and they are incredibly loud until 12am or even post-bars around 2-3 am and then 6am during weekdays. I did talk to the main hostel staff about this and they were very apologetic (as they know the kids are an issue) and they talked to them but alas, it was still an ongoing issue. Yes, I know this is a hostel but the volume of noise they made at those hours with zero regard for others was just too much.

Bed are comfortable, rooms are basic. There is only one working dryer (which was not working well while I was there, but staff refunded me) and two washing machines. All straightforward. Great on-site parking too.

Location is also fantastic, right near the heart of the main town and within walking distance to two grocery stores.

While I'm so appreciative of the main hostel staff's help while I was there, I don't know if I would stay again due to the noise level. That was a major, major issue even with ear plugs in. It is a solid, basic hostel option but really be aware of the noise before booking.

Great location, main staff and WiFi but very, very loud

I only stayed one night but enjoyed it. Sheets were clean - people friendly. I didn’t use the kitchen but it looked alright. Lots of residents. The hostel is in the city and all the shops are in walking distance. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a cheap and good vibe accommodation! 

Perfect location, convenient stay 

My immediate misgivings about this place, when we entered the front door through a haze of cigarette smoke, proved well-founded. The kitchen was filthy, the bathrooms weren’t much better, and our quad room was cramped and freezing after 2am. You are issued with a bag of crockery and cutlery of dubious cleanliness. The deck would be great if it weren’t permanently populated by smokers. And worst of all, it’s extremely noisy. You are kept awake till all hours by guests who ignore signs requesting quiet after 10pm. You hear every footstep and every door slam - until 4am in our case. Definitely not up to YHA standards.
