Not a place I would want to visit again.
I arrived late (around 9pm), the manager (or person at reception at time) asked if I wanted coffee or tea and almost seemed upset when I declined he showed me to my bed, after he left I found out that my pillow case was obviously dirty, I went and asked for new one he asked me just to switch with the one on the lower bunk(he explained he will come up later to change the dirty one before the other guest arrives) I thought that was ok
I realized the other pillow is really thin (mine was double its size) so asked him to get me bigger one or an additional pillow, he said he will bring it, i believed him and said i'll go to bed and wait, an hour and half later i slept and he never showed up, in the morning woke up with sore neck
Breakfast was fine but not great, place all on all seemed nice.
however another major issue, there were only 2 toilets (with the showers inside), there are 5 or 6 rooms on that floor and my room alone had 8 beds. thats ridiculous toilet/shower to guest ratio and one of the toilets was dirty.

Loved this place! The best location and amenities. On saturdays and sundays- old biscuit mill is right around the corner. Friendly staff that helped arrange for wine tours, etc.

Helpful staff, nice garden and living space, clean but not really child friendly like it says on the website. Very steep steps, only one bathroom working.

I asked them three times on the phone if they had safe parking. They said yes all three times. When I drove there I found out that they have only parking space on the dodgy street in front of the hostel. I wasted time and they lost a customes. The 4-bed dorms looked nice and clean though.

Nice, clean and tidy Hostel. It's a little bit far from the center, but the area where is located is full of bars and restaurants.
You get a good deal for the price that you pay.

This place is the real deal for Backpackers. My stay was just super dope and the place well organised. The receptionist dude is chilled and we had a chance to kick it with the international sisters from Sweden. Observatory surroundings are very lively and strangers accommodate easily such as this one Nasser dude I had breakfast with at this one diner spot. I am returning soon no doubt.

I did not stay here but one of my friends did. It is a really cozy place with lots of friends people. It also well situated to restaurants and bars and its out of the city. The rooms and outside area are really great as well. The guy at the reception is also super friendly and helpful from what I saw. :)
