was very helpful staff and very clean place and very nice location
Manager was extremely helpful and kind. Only thing we didn’t like was how noisy the doors closing was but after 10pm we were dead asleep and didn’t hear anything.
The stay was good and the service was very helpful. Just that it would have been better if we had some table in the room to place our valuables as everything had to be placed on the floor. It was quiet inconvenient. But the games room was entertaining , the kitchen was wonderful and we were not aware of the shared bathroom it was our first time booking but it was just one night and five rooms had a set of bathrooms that made it easy for us to be able to use it at our convenience. We had a enjoyable stay and safe. Thank you YHA staff and management.
Perfect accommodation for 30 on a budget, kitchens and lounge areas are great, pillows were a bit thin but overall a success for our needs

It was fine for a short stay - some minor inconveniences like lift and drink dispenser not working, but otherwise really fine.
We took the private rooms with ensuite facilities and would recommend the place to my fellow travellers.
