ロケーションがとても良い
7.0自分で作ったごはんを解放的なテラスで食べることができる。朝は朝日を眺めながらテラスで過ごせる
− ロケーションが良いものの、賑やかなストリート沿いのホテルの為、海側の眺望の部屋は23時以降にならないと騒がしくて眠れない
Great base, clean and affordable!!
7.0Location 10/10. The room and bathroom very clean and exceeded expectations compared to other hostels we stayed in that are branded a bit nicer but actually let us down. I'd recommend anyone looking for a base for their east coast activities to stay here. Was very enjoyable, comfy and just what we needed.
− Wifi a little slow but didn't effect us really! Hostel itself was pretty busy and located in a lively area so outside in the evenings were a little noisy, but luckily couldn't hear anything from our room!
Emplacement au top
8.0L'emplacement face au lagon (qui etait malheureusement fermé) et à côté du night market. La chambre avec salle de bain privative et balcon est agréable et confortable. Le rooftop a une belle vue.
− La cuisine commune est souvent bondée et très sale.
Great location
9.0Very close to everything.
− None
Excellent location if night noise doesn’t bother you
8.0Excellent location close to plenty of restaurant and activity options. I had my own room with a bathroom and a view which didn’t disappoint. Luggage storage was available.
− Wifi cut in and out. Since the hostel is right on the Esplanade, it was quite noisy at night, particularly because I was there over a weekend. It didn’t bother me too much but could be an issue for light sleepers. Lots of people stay at the hostel so the kitchen and dining area gets quite hectic at popular meal times.
Guest review
9.0The location was perfect.
− The noise... In general, the music in the venues ends at midnight, but the backpackers make noise in the hallway past 12 am.
