No refunds is practically theft. We paid and received nothing. Phone call was ridiculous also, no conversation, no reasons, do they even speak English here? Infuriating experience.

The stairs were very high in the tread which made them difficult for me.

I liked the price but you get what you pay for. The room was cold, damp and draughty. I would not sleep on the top bunks as they were unstable. Heating was inadequate on 30 minute timers and only one shower and toilet per three rooms or up to a dozen people. Alright if you are young and healthy.

Ok for backpackers if you need CHEAP accomodation.

It was probably the cheapest accomodation in town,, but would have helped if the TV in the community lounge section worked..as there is NO TV in the rooms. Also..they should let you know beforehand that NOTHING is supplied.. We didn't bring any towels..so.. Our showers were a little hard to have.... A few spiderwebs on the ceilings etc.... But.. It WAS our choice to pick CHEAP. Accomodation ..and we got it. Overall..it was an experience ..we slept ok..beds quiete comfortable.. And kitchen available for you to make your own coffees or Tea (as long as you bring your own) and saw others using the kitchen to cook their own meals.

Dirty, dank and depressing

No longer a yha and it shows. Rundown, dreary, cold and dirty. A great place to send the mother in law
