Booked single room. Told had to move to shared room. No refund in price disparity. Last night was told to get refund from booking agent for last night of stay(past possible refund timeframe) departed hostel accordingly before checkout. text message at 4.55am next morning that it was now fine to stay for that booked night and checkout was 10am. 5 hours after the message was sent. Complete joke. No towels in room bathrooms were not cleaned properly. Would love refund for that last night but that never happened.

Such a grand old building with an interesting history. The manager was lovely to deal with. My Queen room had the basics and was clean and tidy. There were 2 toilets and 2 showers on the ground floor but watch out if the toilet paper has run out by early morning! The lounge area upstairs is great! Some parking behind the building but I had to park on the street - which was fine. I stayed for 3 nights and would definitely stay there again.

Great service

The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best possible experience. We were even picked up from the ferry terminal when public buses were not running due to flooding. Dinner in the upstairs dining area was a great opportunity to meet fellow guests/travellers

I wasn't used to a shared toilet and shower, but the other occupants were very amenable and the overall experience was good. If you are used to the shared amenities this is a very good option.
