The staff is very friendly and obliging, you fell directly welcome when you enter the hostel. The rooms are clean, comfortable and compared with other hostels very bright - a lot of light in the rooms and in the living room! The living room and kitchen area is nice furnished and snugly! You have to pay a little bit more... more

Best hostel we've ever stayed in - Bruce, Angie and the crew were sensational hosts! You wouldn't even know that you were staying in a hostel because the rooms were so neat and tidy and all the facilities were new and state of the art. Couldn't recommend it highly enough and hope to see the Aussie flag we left up... more

The front end staff were excellent. They helped us get our bike to our room and then took the time to show us around the common area and give an overview of the hostel. They were very friendly and helpful, linens were included, washrooms were clean, and the common area is nicely laid out. The room was comfortable, though very... more

I stayed here as part of a trip I did in the summer of 2008. It was a great hostel. The staff were very friendly, it was clean and a good location. For the money, you can't beat it. I am now 52 years old and wouldn't hesitate to go back. more

We stayed at the Painted Turtle for 2 nights in July. We arrived at the hostel and found the staff very helpful with both showing us around and also with advice on things to do in the area & throughout the island. The room was clean as were the shared bathrooms. The kitchen area offered plenty of room to prepare... more

The staff in this hostel are very professional and friendly. The hostel itself is VERY good. Clean and calming interiors and a good communal room to meet fellow guests. This is not a party hostel. There was a big mix of people staying here & quiet time is enforced, as is the communal room being closed before midnight. If you... more

Left this hostel this morning and wanted to confirm that this is a good place to stay . Clean and modern private room, clean rest rooms. kitchen area good enough for us and a group of 12 school kids to cook dinner at the same time! Even with that group the place was quiet. great bar next door as well... more
