Fantastic hostel overall. Competent and friendly staff from Ally at check-in to Anna leading the afternoon tour. This hostel one branch gets it. Daily activities gives you a chance to immerse yourself with the hostel staff and guests if you choose but if you want to simply do your own thing and have a nice rest and accommodation, this place is top-notch in its facility as well. Almost new beds and daily cleaned rooms and toilets. Would recommend this to anyone 10/10! - Sherard

The Facilities
Dorms
This hostel offers a wide range of dorm rooms that sleep four, six, eight, or ten people. The rooms are relatively large and there's security lockers available to guests. They even provide a lock. The rooms are kept clean but the can get a bit hot at times. The beds offer a decent amount of privacy with their own curtains to block out the light. Each bed also has it's own reading light and outlet to charge devices.
Private Rooms
If you want the perks of staying in a hostel without the hassle of sharing a room, check out one of the private rooms. They're similar to a basic hotel room and you can choose between a room with an en-suite bathroom or a shared bathroom, depending on your travel style and budget. This is a great option for couples who like the affordability of a hostel but still want some space to themselves.
Bathrooms
A few dorms and private rooms have en-suite bathrooms but most use shared bathrooms. The bathrooms are clean, but they're a bit small with small showers, so they can be a bit challenging to navigate.
Bar
Start your night at the hostel's bar, where you can grab a drink with friends after the free dinner. Many guests pass some time here before heading out on the town for the pub crawl. It's the perfect place to play some drinking games or just sit back and chat about your travels.
Common Areas
There are two other comfortable common areas where you can relax with a good book in a comfortable chair. There's also tables available so you can enjoy a meal you prepare yourself in the shared kitchen. Like most shared spaces in any hostel, the kitchen can get a bit of a worn look, but it's still a good place to cook up some food.
Outdoor Space
Head up to the roof top terrace for spectacular views and a cool setting. This is the place to hang out with a cold drink after a busy day exploring the city. The atmosphere is fun and chill and the temperature is often pleasant, so don't miss out on the fun of meeting other guests.
