Solo stay

The room was clean, but the bed was extremely creaky. Being of an older age group, probably not the best place for me, as the young ones were quite rowdy till late hours, also stomping around loudly. One was vomiting loudly in the middle of the night, which was unpleasant to hear. These are not the fault of the property managers, but indicates the demographic you may have to encounter. Other than that my room was clean, bedding was clean with fresh towels. Secure parking. Suited my budget and travelling situation for the night.

Really friendly and inclusive backpacker vibes but in a clean and well maintained hostel. I had a private room and it was very spacious and clean and comfy. I would stay here again.
