Lodge in the City

The Lodge was very unclean and the rooms smelt very bad and several moldy spots throughout. The bathroom didn't look like it had ever been cleaned. The parking was $10 per night and was down a very narrow alleyway which was very hard to get in and out of. The staff did not seem interested in being there either.

Awful lodge! Very dirty and run down. Stunk like rotten wood in our room. There were people sleeping in cars in the alleyway below. Parking was shocking, very narrow alleyway to drive down and cost $10 per day for parking! Only positive about this place was the location. Was quite central

It is ok for a night and is definitely the cheapest option in town but I wouldn't stay again. Between the slaming doors, lift going up and down, traffic and people talking in the corridors it was really hard to sleep. The shared spaces are large but seem to be divided into long term guests and backpackers but is well equipped. Only 3 km from the ferry terminal so handy for the early morning crossings. The one positive was the lovely staff.

The reviews elsewhere of this property seem a little harsh considering how little it costs and its location. It is not a high end hostel but it is perfectly comfortable and the staff are friendly. The rooms are comfortable enough, the beds are clean as are the facilities. It can be a little noisy at night time with the other guests but that is not the fault of the property. For a one or two night stay this place is perfectly adequate! The complaints feel unnecessary! I would stay again.
