    The value for money at this backpackers is great, with a comfortable room and stunning city views. The location is convenient, with good transport links and close to Newmarket. The staff treated me well, with quick and uncomplicated communication, especially helping me with a proof of address.

    The only thing that could improve the breakfast menu is adding more variety.

    I had a great stay at a tidy hostel with comfortable beds and a peaceful atmosphere. The dorm room I stayed in had individual pods, which provided a bit of privacy. The bathrooms were clean and the staff member I dealt with was lovely and helpful. The location was also excellent, close to the city and activities. I would recommend this hostel for a pleasant stay.

    loved the central location, close to everything. staff super friendly and helpful. everything was clean and well-maintained, with daily cleaning. would definitely stay here again, especially for the great views from some rooms and the lovely deck area for nighttime socializing with friends.

    Noisy and lack of enforcement of rules.

    The location was absolutely amazing - just outside the city! The pod bed options were mind-blowing - ultimate privacy for my hectic work schedule. The cleanliness was top-notch, with daily cleaning and almost no noise. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, especially with late check-ins. They even helped me with a proof of address. The view from some rooms was jaw-dropping, and the deck was lovely for hanging out with friends at night. The kitchen was clean and organized, and the common grounds had plenty of seating. The wifi worked well, and there were no bed bugs. Great value for money!

    The hostel is located in a convenient area and has a well-equipped kitchen. The common room on the top floor is comfortable and offers a nice view. Some of the rooms have air conditioning and there are pod beds for extra privacy.

    There are serious issues with cleanliness, pests, and maintenance. Bed bugs and cockroaches have been reported and the lift has been out of service for an extended period of time.

    I stayed at this backpackers and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the cleanliness of the hotel to the friendliness of the staff, everything was top-notch. The hotel facilities were outstanding, especially the gym which was always available for me to use. Moreover, the location was perfect as it was easy to walk to most destinations and the transportation was easily accessible.

    Nothing could have been better.

    The location of the hostel was great, walking distance to many attractions. The communal areas were well-equipped with plenty of seating and good Wi-Fi. The staff was friendly and helpful, always accommodating late check-ins.

    The shared rooms and bathrooms were quite dirty, and could use more frequent cleaning. Some guests didn't clean up after themselves properly, making it uncomfortable to use the facilities.

    Great weekend! the free breakfast and Wi-Fi really made a difference, as did the awesome location near plenty of restaurants and bars. the staff were friendly and helpful, and the view from the room was breathtaking.

    the shared bathroom was a bit small, and there were some issues with the intercom and the lift not working properly.

    Great location near public transportation and key attractions. The dorm rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the check-in and check-out process smooth.

    The dorm rooms were quite cramped with limited space for luggage. The lack of enforcement of rules led to some disruptive behavior, which affected the overall comfort and peace in the common areas.
