    Common areas were filthy, I wouldn't eat off of a single table in the dining area...

    Very spacious dorm room, man on reception was friendly and helpful. Toilets cleaned well once a day.

    I don't understand all the negative reviews. For the price it was good. Comfy bed. Easy to sleep. Big common areas. Great value for a short stay.

    There were a few long term stayers who were quite loud (I understand arthouse can't help that) and sound passes through the walls very easily so get some good earplugs. I was on the bottom floor right by the stairs so that didn't help. The kitchen/dining room was gross, the fridges smelt terrible, lots of dirt and old food built up and every table in the dining room was always covered with crumbs.

    Staff were friendly and accommodating. Living room area was great, beds were comfy and balconies were cute. Short walk to town and wifi good. Would stay again

    - Uncomfortable beds, can feel virtually all the springs in the mattress - bunk beds did not feel study and you could feel each time someone moved - kitchen and dining room overflowing with trash and because so many people are sharing the space it gets quite dirty

    - Friendly & responsive staff who answered my messages via booking.com - Friendly & social guests - Good location - Affordable price - considering bathrooms are shared with many people, they are decently kept

    Kitchen a bit feral.

    The staff was lovely. I loved my attic room with lots of space and fresh air. Heaps of storage space and the beds were OK. Linen was clean . The building is old and does need some TLC.

    Water in the bathroom wasn't warm enough, floors were dirty, bed uncomfortable

    Fabulous historic building, sadly not so well maintained inside with pieces of ceiling falling apart, worn off carpets etc. It'd be good to see it renovated. Good location, walking distance from the city centre and queen vic museum

    I didn’t have a socket near to my bed so I couldn’t charge my devices during the night. Maybe the room was a bit cold. The cleaning (room and bathrooms) is not the strength point

    The building is very cool, old one with high ceiling, squeaking wooden floor and old interiors. I slept in a bedroom with 8 bunks beds, with just two other persons sleeping in it

    Matress wasn’t the best, but for paying $25 per night it was to be expected. Clean however.

    Big rooms, easy parking outside and very close to city centre. Great value for money. We were able to lock our bedroom. Appreciated having a key for the locked female only bathroom/shower. Heater was going nice and hot before we arrived so our room was nice and warm. Very considerate thanks, considering the rooms have high ceilings it could have been cold but it definitely wasn’t. Check in and out was very easy. Good communication via imsg with manager.
