I’ve stayed at both hostels in this property. I booked a private room this stay. The beds were very comfortable. Staff was friendly. There was a light out in one of the bathrooms but there was no wait time for showers. The kitchen is located at the back of the hostel so that was a little difficult to find. I like the location as everything is walkable. I will stay here again 😊
The decor is garish and the rooms have the same vibe as a hospital room. We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom. It was okay because we only arrived around 10pm and left at 8:30am, and we went out for over an hour looking for the northern lights.
I would not stay any longer to be honest.
The sheets used on the bed and pillow are a harsh texture which is a bit uncomfortable. There was a strange graffiti style wall art of naked women on the wall. There were two toilet cubicles in the shared bathroom, plus a toilet/shower combo. Think one toilet was out of service. Toilets were relatively clean. Definitely bring flip flops/sliders/etc if you’re staying here.
There is a small free car park, which is something we were looking for in a booking. You are sent an access code about an hour before check-in opens. You use one code to enter the hostel from outside and one to enter your room. I did not see a single staff member anywhere.

The room was great overall. It is spacious and clean. Kitchen is fine. It have all the essential and oven, however, there is not enough dinning space. The place always got crowed during dinner time. The lounge kept closed until my last day. Some hair dryer also not working.
