The accommodation is a bit more rundown than the pictures and to get a blanket and more then 1 pillow you have to pay a deposit that you get back at the end of your stay but still annoying another $30 I could of spent on my holiday and with no heater in the room you do need it also the hand dryer in bathroom didn’t work the whole time I was there and the sanitary bins had not been emptied in days. But the staff were lovey

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff were nice, although one lass seemed really confused every time I spoke to her. The room itself was clean, beds were comfortable enough, but the bathrooms were disgusting. There was always water on the floor of the toilets, the sanitary bins were overflowing, the hand dryer didn't work and it was just generally unpleasant and run down.

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!

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.
