Excellent location, and great price-service relation. The kitchen is outstanding and well provided, the bathrooms are always kept in great conditions. The rooms are reasonable in space, a little too hot on summer nights, and each bed has its own curtain and plug light for privacy and comfort. The staff is super friendly.

Definitely value for money but is not for anyone that’s looking for more than just a space to sleep. Oh, breakfast is rather disappointing, just cereal, milk, coffee & tea. I reckon you save $14 and get a warm sausage roll and coffee instead with that money.

The room is clean but the stuff seems old, but with this price and at a very convenient location, it will be an excellent choice for budget traveller. Just one thing that I think not good enough, there is no separate charger next to each bed.

Basic, economical, central accomm.
Often stay here bc of central location, economy but this time there were no towels in room, chip scraps on the floor beside bed, no spare blankets and i was cold. Not a big deal and i will continue staying here but the housekeeping needs to be better. Reception easy, expedient & friendly.

I had a pretty good hostel experience. They had a decently priced breakfast available, and the included wifi was decent. The bathrooms were also decently clean. I would go back. The only problem was that it was overpriced because of a certain pop star being in town when I stayed there.

Prefect location, clean and modern hostel.
The location is excellent, 5 mins walk to southern cross station, prefect for frequent regional travelling. Hostel is within free tram zone so easy to get the CBD by tram. Fairly clean and modern. Lift available to carry suitcases upstairs. Hard to fall asleep when the person moves on the top bunk bed and the whole bed moves. Better if the bed space can be more private. Overall experience is good and will stay again
