Sleep Well Youth Hostel

2.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (367)
"Room had 3 bunk beds (ie 6 beds), 2 showers and 2 toilets. You need to make your bed, bedding is provided. Room and toilet was clean. Towel is not provided but can be rented for a small fee. I was able to borrow a hairdryer from reception. There was a kitchen to use in the basement and I appreciated the included breakfast which was plentiful (if not the most varied in choice)."

"Would be 5 stars except my phone was attacked 4 times over the network. Each attack required a hard reset to unlock the phone again. This is a network issue with their network. Stay in airplane mode while at the hostel. If the attack had succeeded I would have lost my phone and bank accounts."

The Legacy by 2GO4 City Center

2.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (92)
"On the outside it appears like a nice place, but the rooms are old and rickety, the shower is very cramped, the bathrooms are on odd half levels that you have to wander around to find. I happened to have very friendly roommates for the nights I was there, and the lockers for things were very small---too small to fit any carry-on luggage in. You just have to trust that no one will go through your things. The area is close to major shopping centers, which is great because there's a lot of food...

Train Cabin Hostel

2.0 star property
7.0 out of 10, Good, (59)
"The location is fantastic. Tram is very close. 2min walk. Very fun concept of staying in a train. Staff lovely. The negatives were dragging suitcases up three very long staircases. Also we were in C31 which was supposed to sleep 2 people. No working ladder to the top berth. Bottom bed would maybe sleep two 8 year old kids. Not two adults. Should not be considered a double room. Had to sleep feet to head so that we could fit. If trying to sleep an adult this should be a single room. ...

3.0 star property
4.6 out of 10, (20)
"The room was simply tiny. The mattress was sat on pallets rather than an actual bed. The shower door was broken and hung loose in the shower. Duck tape was trying to hold it up. I had children with me so this was dangerous. There was no kitchen (which the advert said there was) and we had to was dishes in the bathroom sink. Finally, there was grease or dates smeared on the wall. The internet didn’t work, the fan was broken too. It was on a busy urban street, so if it wasn’t midnight revelers...
