Parking

They have a discounted parking deal with a parking site very close by which was very reasonable. Room with double bed small but you expect that in a hostel. Great location in Haymarket.

Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

With activities every night, it's a very social place, travelling alone means nothing here as you will meet people and have a great time. Note it is humid inside the rooms over summer.

Clean, quiet and well managed.
Jimmy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Economic comfortable place to stay
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Pamela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The beds were comfy and the location is excellent. The kitchen was pretty clean and there seemed to be plenty of equipment for use. The towel was a nice touch. However, this hostel was not the cleanest. The rooms didn’t feel especially clean (although the bedding did). The bathrooms were definitely not very clean. The sanitary bins were overflowing
Anna, 2-night trip
