"It was quiet and relaxing. The shared kitchen and lounge areas were very spacious and had a nice open feel. However, it takes about 15 minutes to get from the hostel to the airport entrance, so I ended up taking a taxi instead of walking. It’s still closer than the CBD, so I’d recommend it."

"A central location and friendly staff were the cheer leaders of our stay. Unfortunately we found the room over furnished for the 17m2 available, barely room to unpack. The windows were painted shut, which for a small room was uncomfortable not to have fresh air. The lift did not go to our floor directly which meant a flight of 8 stairs with luggage to get to our tightly packed away room. A pretty hotel."
