The bar is not really a bar, more like a common room. For internet access you'll have to go next door. Supermarkets nearby. It's is a sociable place, I met many nice people there. Rooms were rather cold, but they provided warm blankets. House cat would sleep in beds, and although I love cats, that's intolerable. Overall its a nice and friendly place to stay in the centre, but I prefer the Waterfront/Seapoint areas.close

Excellent location - top of long st makes it right in the heart of town but just far enough from clubs and pubs that you can get some sleep - that is if your not participating in the above!

Place is perhaps a little older and starting to show its age compared to other backpackers in the area - that said, security was good and a great variety of ages, nationalities and interests among the other patrons.close

The hostel is well located and the facilities are reasonable but there was no lock on the dorm door and some of the sheets had what looked like mould on them, bathroom facilities are also lacking

We arrived late and they had no idea we were booked even though we did it through hostelwolrd. They put us in seperate random rooms which weren't very clean. Didn't like the place dirty and not enclosed it feels like you are outside all the time. Stayed at carnival court it was excellent.

Nice enough place, but the layout is odd with access to some places through rooms, etc. They have some very creepy decor that would prevent me from staying here again. There are wierd manequins and flourescent lights that are just too weird for my taste. Staff is minimal and unhelpful. If you...
