I'm not much of a backpacker, but stayed here and thought it was fantastic! The only downfall was the rude girl at the front desk. I stayed in a 6 bed room and there was space for everyone and their bags - the bathrooms were close an lots of them, never having to wait for a shower. A bigger kitchen... More

Spacious dorms, lovely clean bathrooms, and most of the staff seemed nice and friendly. Really good location, 2 minutes to the waterfront, 2 minutes to the supermarket. Unfortunately there was only one small lounge area, and the kitchen was TINY for the number of people trying to use it.

Montgomery's is well located, it is clean and has friendly and capable staff, it has large 'single person' bathrooms which are more like a hotel than a hostel and yet it still falls short. The kitchen is amongst the smallest have seen, I was actually slightly shocked at just how small. It has no lift, only a narrow and steep... More

We had a double ensuite (# 21) with the bedroom being small but functional and the bathroom quite new. There was a fridge in our room but we used the common kitchen downstairs. It was well equipped but far too small for the crowds of people and it had no recycling at all - sad for a YHA hostel with... More

First off the staff at this hostel were all excellent, very friendly and helpful. The were just two significant drawbacks however: The kitchen was far too small for the number of people the hostel could accommodate and very poorly laid out. It is on a main street and was therefore quite noisy till late and again early in the morning.... More

The room itself was fairly comfortable, but there are lots of stairs to navigate to find the bathrooms and kitchens. Ktichen and bathroom adequate. It is right next to a busy road, which wasn't so bad when the window was closed. But one of the women in my dorm got up in the night and insisted that the window be... More

Good central location, but no parking, so we had to park on the street or go further out of the city for free parking. The room was comfortable, warm and quiet. The kitchen was small and got busy at times, but was clean if a bit used.

I did a 6-share female dorm at this YHA. And I should say the experience ain't too shabby. I think lets get our facts right, this is a backpacker style hostel, one shouldn't expect any more than that. If any hotel room rate falls in the range of this hostel due to an offer, go ahead and stay at a... More
