The room was pretty poor, the bed was broken and dangerous (it was a bunkbed), so we slept on the floor. They have a bar which played till 1:30. The room had an open and dangerous fuse panel for the whole floor (5th floor). Even though we had top floor it was to loud to sleep even with ear plugs.... More

I stayed in a double room by myself for one night in February. All you get for 85AUD is a bunk bed and a mirror. Shared toilets only have 1 WC and 2 showers. The level of cleanliness is medium to low for a backpacker. The room was extremely hot and noisy at night. Free Wi-Fi, friendly staff, location and... More
