Guests often stayed here the night before they had early flights to catch. They mentioned being able to walk to the airport and liked not having to rely on taxis to get there. Numerous reviews discussed how the closeness to the airport was the best thing about this particular property.

Guests said the complimentary shuttle bus was a handy perk of staying here. They said it helped them get around the area with ease, especially when they didn't have cars to rely upon.

Guests reported that they were often disturbed by sounds from airplanes and cars when staying here, because the property sits near a busy road and the soundproofing is not adequate. They said the problem would not be as severe if the walls weren't so thin, and if the windows had double glazing.

Warnings came from guests that this is not a family-friendly hostel. They said most of the fellow guests were very loud and party minded, and often slammed doors or talked loudly at all hours of the night.

Guests noted some cleanliness shortcomings, especially in regards to the hostel's communal areas, such as the bathroom and kitchen. They said those parts of the hostel were grubby and looked as if they needed a thorough cleaning.
