    Amazing location right by Christ Church. The views from the room and breakfast area were amazing. The rooms were clean and spacious, and there was even a free filtered water system in the breakfast breakout area. The staff was kind and helpful.

    Great central location and helpful staff. the breakfast room offers breathtaking views over the city and the breakfast offered was delicious. Room had large windows with scenic views, making it a peaceful stay.

    Expensive compared to similar budget hotels nearby, with some hidden charges. No Wi-Fi except in lobby and guests need to buy toilet paper.

    Great rates and equally great location. The property is in the heart of the city, close to everything. The staff is friendly and rooms were okay for a budget stay.

    The facilities, in general, left a lot to be desired. The showers were not clean, and bedsheets were so-so.

    The hostel is in a prime location, with plenty of public places nearby. the center of the town is just steps away, and the hostel's view over the city is great. Rooms are spacious, and breakfast is delicious. the staff is friendly and always happy to assist guests.

    Communication can be an issue as not all staff speak English fluently.
