Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Clean and fully equipped shared kitchen space with everything you need to cook. Clean fridges with space for your food. Really nice lounge space with wooden panelling. Parking lot was pretty empty during my stay so it was easy to find a spot. Bedroom was clean and tidy and there were power points and lights on each bunk. I think the wifi was decent which is rare for a YHA. Showers are better than many other YHAs as they have doors so the entire floor is not drenched. Overall a comfortable and very practical place to stay. The female staff memeber who greeted me on my arrival was extremely friendly and helpful and let me use the self-catering kitchen while I was waiting.
Negative: Room doors slammed loudly so there was a lot of noise from the corridors while trying to sleep. A senior staff member was abrasive and hostile towards me when he saw me using the self-catering kitchen despite another staff member saying I could. This seemed unnecessary as he could've just spoken respectfully and this confrontation made me uncomfortable and put a damper on my whole stay.
