The hostel itself was clean and my room was comfortable, however....I feel that the hostel could have been more accommodating to me and my friends request. I understand that the people that work there are volunteers, but we had a situation in which we needed just a little flexibility.
We were due to attend a wedding, travelling from the south-coast that morning. The wedding was due to start at 2pm, but we couldn't check in until 5pm. We had no where to leave our bags, to get ready. Our request was that we would be able to use just one room or the bathroom to get ready and have somewhere to leave our belongings, and if possible check in early...these requests were declined. Instead we had to get ready in a car park, attend the wedding and then leave to check in later that afternoon and return to the wedding. This made our day much more stressful than it should have been.
