Booked a private room for my partner and I. Check in was easy, room was very clean and had a good amount of space. The staff were all very helpful and the stay was good value. I can’t speak to the backpacker side of things, but the vibes were good and we would happily stay here again.
Room was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The pods were clean but very hot! The rooms could use better ventilation. Location of the hostel good and it’s helpful to have a bar/restaurant right there.
All of my activities were really close by and the staff was very friendly! The wifi didn’t work in my pod but I made friends with the other girls in the pods and it was a really fun experience! Love that there was a restaurant attached as well!
Lovely atmosphere, staff were super helpful and friendly, I found everything easy to access, would stay again. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience

There are no windows in the rooms—which is not at all clear from the listing page! Caution when booking!
We loved our stay. The pod room was different but very functional! Great use of space, comfy and spacious bed areas. Great communal areas too. The bar and bar staff were also amazing. Would absolutely stay again!
Great hotel! Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves delicious food and has vegetarian options as well and very affordable prices. The community kitchen is massive, having a travel agency for local attractions is simply amazing. 100% recommendable!
Clean and quiet. Very well laid out room. Even though it was an internal room it was very comfortable and ideal if you are really just wanting a great place to have a good nights sleep.
