The staff is very friendly. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Cleanliness could be improved. ##### Jennifer Soledad Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveler Jan 19, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff really helpful allowing me to check in early and clearly have a great cleaning regime. However the place itself is looking a little tired and needs an update and lick of paint. Great value for money however! ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sanganai Feb 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I like that It is conveniently located near shops and other facilities. I didn't like particularly the room I was in it had no Windows ##### Sanganai Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Brandy Jan 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff responded promptly to any requests or issue. I just think it's a shame that so many hostels don't provide anything for hand drying in toilets. ##### Brandy Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hans Oct 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was ok for the price and the Toilet and shower was clean. It seams the walls are made from carton as you can hear the people talking next door. I liked the stay but in Hamilton the City council made it really hard to find a spot for the car in the central, when the free parking from the hostel is booked out. So not cool Hamilton Council :( Thanks HH ##### Hans Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Simon Dec 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Well located, not far from the river and shopping etc. It is a bit of a maze which isnt a huge problem but it would help to have signs to the bathrooms. You end up wandering round hoping to bump into them! Kitchen and living room very spacious and a nice communal balcony. Very big problem with the cooker as two rings were very broken in that you couldn't be sure if it would collapse under a pan. Granted, there was a sign saying to not use them but if you didn't read English, you may have has a big probably (it was being replaced the morning i left however. It's more a point about how to overcome the problem). Did the job but did seem a little soulless ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Selena Aug 31, 2025 Property and facilities were good ##### Selena Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cressella Jun 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent spot to stay 😊 ##### Cressella Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Future Dec 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not aloud at room, stolen property by owners ##### Future Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vineet Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice ##### Vineet Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe Feb 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great.. cheap place to stay and staff were brilliant .. nice and friendly guests too ##### Joe Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Chloé Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Kitchen a little bit dirty, but the rest was great. ##### Chloé Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marielle Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great!
