    Disappointing
    Disappointing
    The location is very good.
    Kitchen rules should be informed before making a reservation. The shared kitchen is small and unequipped. Fridge space is scarse.

    Great for short stays
    The location and rooms are good
    The 2nd floor bathroom was getting fix, so I had to go upstairs or downstairs to go to the toilet and shower. But other than that was great.

    Messy hostel
    This was the most messy hostel I stayed in Australia. The room was a total caos. I know the behavior of the guests is also responsible for this, but some king of rules should be applied. The baths at night was also dirty.

    Good except for the bathroom situation which I was not aware of
    Overall its good. Good location
    The bathroom in my floor was out of order. Imagine you are in the top bunk bed and have to come down and go to another floor for the bathroom every night. So much work.

    alright. but wont do it again
    its cool for young backpackers looking for likeminded people. single room was alright
    shared rooms are disastrously dirty. bathrooms are old, not that clean either. breakfast was like a basket with a bunch of bread and three jars of butter/jam/Vegemite. i moved rooms three times then i ended up paying a $100 for a night in a private room.

    Ideal location and friendly place to stay
    The atmosphere and lobby setup was very friendly.
    The toilets were clean and fuctional, but a bit run down. When pulling off the bedsheets at check out, I noticed some grose stains all over the mattresses..

    Nice location, customer service greater improve.
    Location, breakfast provided.
    The staff didn't know much how to access the room door. They should show costumer how to do it while check-in.

    Good
    Convenient for a short stay
    The location is great near the station. We were able to check ourselves in after checkin and the WiFi worked well. We were able to store our luggage for the day when we checked out.
    The convenient location means there is a lot of noise from the main road and the curtains barely covered the windows and let a lot of light through. They also ask you to strip the bed when you checkout which reveals the state of the mattresses underneath which are rather grim!
