It was easy to find the hostel and there is a DJ on Friday and Saturday’s nights ! I find that very cool.
It was a « king room » but the bed wasn’t a king size, and it miss a little bed table for the other side of the bed.

The room was nice but the carpets need a cleaning.
Bathrooms need an up date or change of shower head. They waste way too much water with the current showerheads. I come off a farm so we are used to a spray not something that knocks you into the next room. lol.

Nice comfortable beds. Very good restaurant. Very reasonable price. Very good shared facilities like kitchen and a nice roomy bathroom. Very good staff - friendly and helpful
Kitchen - Needs to have some good tea towels and proper dish washing tools like a proper dish brush or dish mop. More seating and a bigger table to sit at and eat meals. Shared bathroom - No bathmats to step on when stepping out of shower. Very dangerous slippery lino floor. No bathmats in private bathroom shower. Stainless steel shower floor was very slippery. Need more three pin plugs in bedroom or some plug ins for iphones and other digital devices

The hotel is right in the centre and the I-site is just two minutes walk away.
The bathroom facilities could have been a bit cleaner.

The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The rest of the facilities, apart from the bathroom, were good for the price.
The shower in the shared bathroom between rooms 4 & 5 could do with some tlc, it had loose screws and was coming away from the wall. Also some hooks in the bathroom would be useful for hanging clothes and towels while showering. The location was good, the surroundings were noisy (vehicles and people coming and going at all times of the night). We live in a rural area so this was quite noisy and made it hard for me to sleep.
