    Rooms do not have windows and are artificially aired, which result on them being cold during winter times as there’s no heating

    Good location. Fairly quiet, kind and relaxed staff. Kitchen is cleaner than other hostels.

    I didnt like the chinese guy who worked there, we woke me up on the day I was checking out and said if I dont leave in 5 minutes he will rob my bed from me… and the signs in the laundry room are inaccurate

    It had a nice garden area, good kitchen and showers and toilets were okay

    Price is definitely too high (like all the hostels in Australia), kitchen was so so.

    The showers were good and it's only a ten minute walk ten minutes to the CBD.

    Would I stay there again? Yes, probably.

    The hostel was very busy and, consequently, the washers / dryers were in constant use. As mentioned above, they were ‘tap-and-pay’, to which you are added a charge, on top of the costs of washing & drying your kit, for using your payment card. I am aware this is beyond the remit of the hostel, but if you stayed there long enough, then you could wind up paying for more washes than you actually had because of this charge. As I had to wait so long for a machine to be free, I had little choice but to use them. Two of them had “Hostel priority 9am - midday”, or similar, on them, further limiting opportunities to get your laundry done. As mentioned above, I’m new to backpacking and might find this to be the norm on future trips, so this might not be fair comment; more experienced backpackers might already know this. On the day I checked out, the reception staff member started to use Google Translate to converse with me, either because they couldn't cope with my, not harsh, English accent, or their English wasn’t great.

    The room was clean and the bed comfortable and, because of the 10pm quiet rule, wasn’t noisy in the evenings. The showers / toilets were also clean and of a good standard. Being a ’newbie’ to backpacking, I was astonished to find half of the laundry facilities were ’tap-and-pay’! They also provide a bag store so that, when you check out, you are able to leave your baggage there for the day until you leave on the next leg of your journey. All-in-all, I would stay there again.

    Could be cleaner. No windows in the room, very noisy during the night, even thought they say its not a "party hostel". For the price could be better.

    Location is good. Kitchen is ok.

    Very basic hostel
    • Leisure trip

    It is very very basic. You have to make and strip your own bed. There are no towels, no soap/shower gel, no cooking oil/spices to use. Breakfast is very basic (just cornflakes or oats) and only for one hour. Tea and coffee is only available in that hour too. There are also not enough showers or sinks for everyone, and very little privacy. Not great for travellers passing through who don’t come equipped or tired! The staff were unbothered too.

    The kitchen area is nice and the facilities were clean enough. The location is good.

    They did not state on the website that its a coincidence, which room you get. I was in the same room with 16 people. It was scary in the beginning, but everyone was so great.

    The people there where great, very sociable. Got mang new friends. So I definitely recommend it for your stay.

    didn’t feel really social tbh.. maybe because there is no real social area except the tv with one couch.. if you’re in the 16 bed dorm outside you’re fucked basically :)

    nothing special to be honest! people were nice, bathroom is clean :))
