    Facilities aren't great and the beds aren't very comfortable. Some rooms can also be very very small

    Very mellow hostel, if you enjoy a calm laid back experience with a hostel this is the place to stay. Most people enjoy a good chat if that's what you're into.

    I don't remember if it said it in the booking but there's no housekeeping. At least not for our room. We stayed there over a week and only had someone come in to change the bin bag and nothing else. No new sheets or towels

    No fan in the room, just a mini-machine, which honestly makes no difference. Sleeping together without fresh air is disturbing and disruptive. Think about improving this and adding air conditioning in the bedrooms. Kitchen very small, with a table for 4 people maximum... and the dishes + dishwasher area separated from the cooking areas is annoying because you always have to cross the whole room with pots and dishes and food. Reception closes at 4PM too early

    Friendly, dynamic staff. Not too many people in the hostel so it’s quieter than elsewhere but still feels like a great community and spending time together is nice! Near public transport and the beach. Quiet street/area! Breakfast is included in the price and is good value for money compared to other place.

    Our room was on the top floor of the building so the wifi reception was basically non existent, and the fridges in the kitchen were pretty cramped and a bit dirty.

    The free breakfast was basic but definitely a nice bonus, and the room came with a fan which was definitely needed because the weather was very hot during our stay! The room was clean and the bathrooms were always kept clean and tidy.

    My mattress was a bit old (I could feel the springs) and the kitchen was often crowded)

    In general the amenities were great and the hostel had a very nice vibe. The rooms have only 4 beds which is really good.

    On the last night there were two people in my room being really noisy at night and walking in and out every 5 muinits. But what really made me feel uncomfortable was the fact that they were snorting illicit drugs and looking at me like they want to kill me but that was probably just bad luck.

    I liked that I had somewhere to go at night time and that I could charge my phone up and free breakfast. And also made a couple friends

    I actually only came here for the free breakfast and thought it was very cheap, straight up just the cheapest cereal, tea and bread with some spreads. Not even any orange juice! but hey free is free and I'll take it. Reminded me of a typical Aussie breakfast, I think you'll enjoy it more for the experience of waking up to eating something so utterly mid and sharing that experience with strangers. One think I didn't like was that the bunks don't have railings so it's easy to fall off (not that I did) and terrible ventilation inside the rooms so it smelled terrible. Also, there are no lockers for your stuff so be wary, I think everyone was very trustworthy however and I left my important belongings inside the room without any worries. Make some friends and you won't feel stressed about it!

    I liked that it was cheap, and the idea of meeting new people. While I never really had the time to create a lasting friendship, I thought it was really fun bunking with 3 others and getting to know some of them.

    Not very clean, especially under the beds. There are old clothes and stuff from people who lived there before which never got cleaned. Toilets are really small and showers are either way too hot or ice cold. Kitchen could have had more cutlery and pans.

    Free breakfast, washing and drying.

    would have been good to have a little milk for tea and coffee. Couldn't get the wi-fi to connect....tried several methods without success, but might have been some fault at my end!

    Breakfast was good, with a variety of food and drink. The room was nice, with heater, chair, useful tables with rims to stop things falling off, and hand basin with hot and cold taps that was very handy. Good to be able to open window a little for fresh air. Doona was warm, and didn't need heater on through the night.
