  I had a great time staying at Buffalo hostel. It was clean and comfy. The food was excellent !! Very vibes and busy in the evening but the outside area and bar closes at 11 so it was not noisy when going to bed. Lots of restaurants and bars near by however excellent drink deals at Buffalo it's self. Breakfast was also great. Freddie brought so much energy in the evenings and was really kind and easy to chat too. He is an asset to the Buffalo team.

  I would highly recommend this hostel! The rooms are clean and spacious, and the bathroom was lovely too. The outdoor area is really nice, with plenty of seats, a pool table, and a swimming pool. There are activities on an evening (quiz nights, games nights etc.) and a free beer hour from 7pm-8pm! The menu has lots of options, including vegan and vegetarian options. The food is lovely and is very affordable. There are also local restaurants nearby. The staff were very friendly and helped us with anything we needed. The hostel was also very sociable and fun, but the bar closed at 11pm so it isn’t too loud for long. The hostel is in a great location and there are lots of bars nearby to carry on the night!

  My friend and I stayed at this hotel for one night. Overall, the experience was great, but I have to say this was one of the most crowded hostels I’ve ever visited. I think it’s because this place is very popular with backpackers and tourists. The first time I walked in, the lobby was packed with people and backpacks everywhere 😂 However, the room was very clean and comfortable. The owner and staffs are also very helpful. By the way, they also organize beer nights and other entertainment activities in the evening, which makes it a great place for guests to hang out and meet new people. Overall, it’s a great hostel, just a bit too crowded for my personal preference. Maybe this style just isn’t for me.

  Nice semi-luxurious hostel with a great social environment. Kinda party-ish but everything quiets down at 11ish. Nice buffet breakfast. I would have stayed longer but they didn't have covered parking for my motorbike so I was concerned about potential issues from the rain. Sometimes the wifi disconnects due to the amount of people using it

  It’s a really nice hostel. Rooms are nice, aircon worked well. 24/7 reception, luggage storage. Big pool (was fullll of chemicals but can’t blame them for that. Free beer, free breakfast, free shots, plenty of drinking socialising activities. Can book other trips and travel through the hostel Only thing I will say, very fresher vibes

  This hostel is great for socializing, with live music and free beer hour every night! However, the music goes on until about 11 pm, so be prepared for some noise if that’s an issue. I met some wonderful people. The only downside for me was the small rooms. Each bed had about a 1 x 1 m space, so in a 6-person dorm, you only had a narrow 6 x 1 m corridor to organize your belongings. The beds themselves were spacious and had good organizers. The bathrooms could use more hooks, as there’s virtually nowhere to hang towels. People were jamming them into lockers or hanging them from beds. The bathrooms were decent, with isolated dry showers. The breakfast was good, with made-to-order eggs in various styles. The food that can be ordered was also quite good. We gently enjoyed their coffees and burritos.

  Let me start by staying this hostel is great, the beds are incredibly comfy and facilities are modern and well maintained. The social vibe here is great and there are about a million tourists to party with. However, the negatives. The pool is so incredibly chlorinated whenever I found myself in it I immediately regretted my decision. My eyes would burn so so much. And, without naming names we had a volunteer in our 8-bed dorm room acting like a grumpy dictator. Would make snarky comments and give stern looks from his bed at people chatting during day time hours. Other than that, great place!

  The customer service here is amazing, the staff is helpful with any request. ||We couldn’t check-in before 14 because it was fully booked the day before, but we could leave our bags and went to lunch at a nearby café. ||We could choose top or bottom bed, and the room was very clean and nice. We had a 6-bed dorm and bathroom. ||Breakfast was very nice! Also free beer from 19-20 which is insane and the vibes were amazing. We didn’t try the pool because it was too cold and windy, but it was very clean. ||10/10 would come here again
