    Lovely hostel away from the centre.

    Very small bedroom. Limited storage. Bed against wall. No hooks for clothes. No bulb in bedside lamp. (Sporadic) hot water to shower, either scalding hot, or cold. No visible signs of recycling. Lack of oven trays. Reception needs to use headphones during quiet hours, and try not to engage in conversations or phone calls very early in morning, or late at night, walls are very thin! We have marked down because of this, but generally a fine accommodation.

    Lovely, quiet hostel in the south suburbs. $2-$4 by Uber from bus station, but near to local bus stop. A good walk to large supermarket. 24 hour reception, key to room. Clean, especially the well equipped kitchen. (6 ring gas hob, oven, 2nd mini-oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, juicer, toaster plenty of good pots, pans, cutlery and crockery). Hot water to sink, drying cloths. Free tea & coffee 24 hours. Plenty of eating and resting areas inside (with fans) and outside. Excellent wifi/internet/network throughout. Ample supply of power points. Air-conditioning and fan in room. Bin in room, bedside table and lamp. Comfortable bed. Laundry $3 a bag. Cash or credit card payment. Fridge in bedroom. Good size bathroom, good lighting.

    Parking! Stayed twice now. We had to leave early first time and a car was behind us. Person was pissed as they had to get out of bed so we could leave. This time we parked behind a car to leave early first and they woke us up at 11at night so staff could leave. Not happy at all. They need a system to arrange when people are departing so nobody is hassled in the middle of the night. Have a form that people tell them and park cars according to the times. Really quite easy to solve.

    Convenient, great price, clean

    Ended up stuck in David due to bus issues. The family who runs it is really nice, the area feels safe, you get an en-suite with some basic toiletries, and a smart TV which is nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. The only thing to bear in mind is that it’s not that close to any shops, but you can uber to the shopping centre nearby for quite an affordable price. For David, I think this is a great option, as I talked to other people later in my travels who stayed in David and had bad experiences.

    Our room had no windows, so needed something to keep the air flowing. We don't do well in airconditioned rooms. Jolandine gave us a small fan, that helped during the nights. During the day we were out or enjoyed sitting on the patio.

    I really liked the energy in the hostel and from the host Jolandine. She did everything to make us feel at home. It was very nice and handy to be able to prepare our own meals in the kitchen. It's a small and family-friendly hostel in a quiet neighborhood. It's around 10 to 12 driving minutes away from the center. We were there only for 2 nights so didn't explore much.

    Location is a bit off the beaten path, but on the upside, that contributes to it being quiet.

    It was quiet, the owners were AMAZING and so helpful and friendly. The kitchen is available for cooking your own meals. Refrigerator in kitchen is also available to use, on top of the one in the room.

    The room they gave me was behind the laundry room. This room shouldn’t even be used. You are trying to relax or sleep and you can’t because the washing machine and dryer are constantly making noise. Also, the door to the room was damaged, which it made it really difficult to enter the room. Regardless of price, this 2 things were unacceptable.

    The location, it was really close to everything i needed.
