I really liked your solid wooden bunk beds that don't creak when you climb up top! Also liked the roomy luggage locker.

None of the power points in the dormitories worked so everyone had to charge there devices in the dining room. While breakfast was served it was minimal and there wasn't enough for all the guests. Despite this the stay was pleasant, the beds comfy and the city of Victoria beautiful.

I am very sorry that the plug sockets were not working. A breaker must have blown. We have no record of anyone telling us of a power point not working. Please let us know of anything not working in the hostel and we will try to fix it as soon as possible. As for breakfast, we do supply a minimal amount, it is not as much as the other hostels supply, and I am looking into a larger breakfast for all. Thank you for the kind words about the beds and city. I hope if you stay again, things will be better for you.

1 nuit passée en dortoir (J) ! Environ 40 lits dans ce dortoir, bien séparés par box de 4/6 lits ! Toutefois c'est assez etouffant ! Petit dejeuner pas très fourni... domage ! Personnel tres aimable + possibilité d'achetés des tickets pour le Royal british museum avec des tarifs avantageux !

very clean, good refrigeration, and cordial people. Stair tread edges are coming loose and could cause major injury if a fall takes place. New wooden treads would be advisable to reduce liability.

Thank you for your kind words. The stair tread edges has since been nailed, very thoroughly down. Daran Manager
