The heater cannot be turned on, the refrigerator is too old

Stayed in April 2024

It felt unsafe - drunk men, people who were suffering from mental illness and addiction in the common areas. The kitchen had birds flying inside. I had food stolen from the fridge. I surfaces were dirty and their were no tea towels. Also lots of paper signs with different rules on them stuck around the place that were tatty and ignored by most. Also no wifi in the rooms.

I liked that there was plenty of space to cook in the kitchen. I also liked the central location and "give and take table" for unwanted items. It was also great I could leave my luggage there after check out.

You have to pay deposit for spoons, forks, cups, towels, keys..it’s so ridiculous. No Wi-Fi in the room, you have to go out to the reception area where has limited space and smelly, uncomfortable couches. They still use the traditional keys for the door locks and people who are not staying at hostel has the key and can came to the room without permission. This happened to me /our room. Their entrance door is always open. Sloppy people staying there, pictures included. That’s how the room looks like when I stepped in and I was not allowed to change room or cancel the booking. One of the staff was verbally abusive and threatening me. There are verbal fights breaking out several times between staff and guests or amongst guests. It is a mad house.

Central location within free train/ bus zone

you have to be honest with people the online booking is different to what i had.There were several bunks in every room with all respect probably ok for young people ruffing it up and travelling not for me a woman on her own.

The linen was clean and nobody touched my stuff and people were ok close to absolutely everything price good if you haven't got much money

The toilets had no toilet paper, they were dirty and stank of poo and vomit

The attitudes of the staff was bad. They were abrupt and not friendly

My dorm was filthy, and I saw that when the staff member came it to use the mop, he just pushed all of the rubbish to the sides, in with the luggage (there were insufficient lockers) and under the beds. Longer term guests there spoke of several infestations of bed bugs. No curtains or other means of providing privacy on the dorm beds. Many of the other guests were homeless people, some of them clearly mentally disturbed. One evening there was a physical fight in the corridor outside my dorm. Those running the place did not appear to trust us, requiring a A$5 deposit just to get a set of cutlery!

Good location, well-equipped kitchen (although lacking cutlery and mugs), and reliable hot water.

The room was leaking water in to the room from the Roof. In the middle of our room hold in the wall behind I picture. Smoke alarm was hanging off the roof.

It was in a nice location

No wifi in the rooms, no elevator, only hostel i’ve been to that they charged money for a towel.

Great location, cheap, good staff. Clean and comfy bed. Loved my roomies.

Stayed in November 2023

My room was very smelly and my roomies didn't respect the sleeping hours :(. Also just next to the street so very noisy all day.

Friendly staff and good location

the hostel felt unsafe and the people staying there were very disrespectful

great location, but that’s about it

Stayed in August 2023

Thin walls and noisy neighbouring rooms with up to x6 people sleeping in them. Three flights of stairs. Shared bathroom a little shabby and not cleaned very often. Looks like people more-or-less live there.

Friendly staff, 24hr front desk. Good CBD location near the Victoria Market.

The bathroom had a bad smell and the sinks were not properly cleaned.

Nothing much, it was very warm though in the night which is good.

it was just what i needed at the time and price seven stars

Very uncomfortable atmosphere with lots of older people living there for work. Very hostile room environment that didn’t feel safe as a single traveller. People had all their possessions in the bedroom and didn’t feel like a hostel for travelling/backpacking. Most people were much older working there and the atmosphere overall wasn’t good. Wifi is only in the reception and therefore everyone sits there on Wi-Fi meaning you have no privacy at all. Not recommended for solo travellers or backpackers. Kitchen is run down and doesn’t feel clean or comfortable to sit in

I liked the location, it was excellent

Stayed in May 2023

I’ve paid $80-100 in much better places

cheap

Stayed in June 2023

Cleaning, toilet blocks are a little under par, but it’s a hostel not a 5 star stay.
