    Very antisocial but no fault of the hostel!

    Very very clean and really pretty! Relaxing and chill. Fridges in bedroom which is GREAT. Staff also amazing and very helpful with anything esp during early hours in morning which I appreciated.

    I was on the top bunk and when I got back and into bed at the end of the night it was extremely squeaky so I felt I couldn’t move around in bed much and disturbed the others in my room

    I like how convient it was to town and the Hordern, it was also a good price

    There is an 18-39 year age policy which I didn’t find out about until the day before I checked in - this should be communicated before booking not after!

    Close to the city, clean. Small rooms but the bunk was comfortable

    In my room specifically the air conditioning was behind a bed. So the room was quite hot. A mirror in the room would have been the cherry on the cake.

    Floorboard, very clean

    Didn’t have a towel but was informed towards the end of my stay they have them for a $10 refundable deposit after your say which I now know for next time. Rooms are small and squishy. The room a stayed in was for me and 1 other person who had been staying there for a while so had a lot of things I felt like I didn’t have much room for mine but none the less mostly a comfortable stay and worth the experience for money.

    Cleaners constantly around and cleaning shared spaces like the bathroom. Friendly travelers, wasn’t there long enough to make friends but was nice to say hello.

    The rooms weren’t cleaned. My locker has beers from the previous guests. I contacted the “reception” they said they would send someone to clean & in 7 days I was there they never did. Also some of the girls (who have longer stays) take over the whole room while some of us have to crammed up into a corner because of all the things they have thrown around the room.

    The property was close to public transportation

    Definitely not enough fridge/storage space in the kitchen and not enough utensils. Unfortunately the staff (reachable through the app only) aren’t always knowledgeable or aware of what’s happening so some things take longer than they should

    The rooms and the toilets are always clean. The ensuite in my room was great looked like a home bathroom. Nice central quiet location. Lots of common areas here and there

    I chose a room with a balcony (which was good) but little did I know there is a techno club on the opposite site of the street playing crazy loud music on weekends. Just to be aware when picking the rooms! Also my room was super tiny and did NOT have air con… thought the entire hostel had air con, not only in the common rooms. Another thing to be aware of when booking.

    Well organized, great online communication and very quick responses! Overall very clean and well located. Check in and out very easy via GOKI

    I just can saw one washing machine and one dryer and I can't use it because was always busy. The airconditioner was really noisy but eventually you get use to it.

    The room was super small but it works. The bathroom was big enough and the shower was amazing with good temperature and water presure. The bed confortable and the location really great
