Overall this is a good place, in a quiet location. Rooms are quite basic but fine. The shared kitchen is really nice. The only problems are very thin walls (you can hear any noises e.g talking and phones pinging in the next room) and a bright green light over the room door which you can't switch off. But overall a good stay and I slept well.

On arrival the key for the room we booked was not available, we contacted the owner and they were quick to respond, after a bit of back and forward on the chat a suitable solution was offered. Several light switches that seemed to do nothing and one set of lights that could not be turned off was a bit inconvenient. Overall the stay was comfortable and the owner helpful

These guys are cheats. Stay away!! We booked accomodation for 2 adults and 2 kids here. However, on our way to hostel, we were told that room we booked is not available and we should find alternative accomodation as we won't fit in 3 kids beds ( only room they have). They asked us to cancel the reservation through Expedia but then did not refund the booking amount.

Overall pleasant experience. Wish there was more signage and the phone number was inaccurate. Still, we were able to check in to our clean hostel without a worker and had a pleasant experience. The bathroom was especially nice.

Good and affordable place to stay in a quiet neighborhood at Inverness. It took us a good minute to figure out which room was ours since it's a self-check-in process and the keys to each room were on the doors. Overall great stay.
