Great price for short stay.
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.

Warm staff and centrally located to everything this backpackers is no frills but perfectly adequate for a cheap fun trip to the city. Can be a bit noisy but otherwise was fine for a night!

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

Great location. Pretty poorly maintained and noisy at night despite their signs saying "strictly no noise after 11pm". The toilets were gross. And there's a reason it's called the maze, the labrinth of hallways to find your room and toilet are astonishing. Worse when a toilet is closed for cleaning so you need to walk a marathon to releive yourself.
