Staff at reception were kind and offered various suggestions on what to do/where to eat around the area when I asked. The facilities were clean, quiet, and amenities are nothing crazy but offered multiple clean spaces to hang in. New to travelling and first hostel stay, honestly have no complaints!

Good low-budget option for short stay. Beware, the hostel is only available for over 18s and ID is required for all guests.

With activities every night, it's a very social place, travelling alone means nothing here as you will meet people and have a great time. Note it is humid inside the rooms over summer.

Mine was an overnight stay for business reasons. I knew I would not be spending much time at the property because of the business commitments so just needed somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep. The Maze suited my convenience perfectly. I booked a private room with shared bathroom facilities, which were spotless and convenient to my room.

The beds were comfy and the location is excellent. The kitchen was pretty clean and there seemed to be plenty of equipment for use. The towel was a nice touch. However, this hostel was not the cleanest. The rooms didn’t feel especially clean (although the bedding did). The bathrooms were definitely not very clean. The sanitary bins were overflowing

Terrible wifi as well. I have fairly low standards, I’ve stayed in many hostels. I’d rate it higher if the price was a bit lower, felt it was a bit overpriced for the cleanliness, noise, wifi etc
