Guest review
5.0− There is no staff on property. No assigned bunks either. My room had all bottom bunks taken even though I especially requested bottom bunk. Staff is basically incommunicado. Rooms were hard to lock behind. Top bunk had no charging ports nearby hoarded by bottom bunks. Kitchen doesn’t have enough cutlery or cleaning supplies. Over any thing I did not feel safe staying there. I left minutes after checking in forcing me to find a place last minute.

Guest review
8.0I came to see the penguins and steampunk HQ and it was just right around the corner from the Victorian quarter. Super close walk to everything. The bathrooms and rooms were much cleaner than I thought they would be. Very clean in comparison to other hostels I've stayed in. It can feel a bit spooky when you first come in since it's self check in and there were hardly any people around during winter. But the blankets were very warm and there was a nice fire downstairs near an outlet where I could plug in my phone and charge other electronics.
− It's in an old building which is very pretty but the plumbing is quite old so just make sure to flush as you go when using the toilet. Some people clogged the toilets while I was there. The shower pressure was great though and very hot and warm.
