I booked a double room, with shared bathroom at Civic Guest House. The cost was very reasonable, considering the location and the included pool. My room and bed were very clean and comfortable, and also had a good-sized fridge/freezer. The hostel facilities were excellent and kitchen space large and well set out, while toilets and bathrooms were kept clean and well stocked. Although there were a lot of guests throughout the property, I felt safe and secure at all times. Arthur, on the front desk, was extremely helpful and always friendly. I would definitely recommend Civic Guest House.

The guesthouse has a friendly atmosphere with a young, multicultural clientele. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. I liked having a fridge in my room. It was great that they provided a free shuttle to the ferry terminal. Some of the communal areas need a revamp.

Convenient location great kitchen.

Well maintained, with lots of space to hang out near reception, next to the kitchen, outside the kitchen, also books corner. Delightful surprise with filtered water, kettle, coffee sachets and tea bags at reception. Lots of fridge and shelf space for food storage. The 4 bed female room with its own bathroom and toilet was neat and tidy. May have been better with more storage space.
