Decent hostel. As with large city hostels, it lacks a bit of character. Clean rooms, 24 hour reception and secure door all day. Few facilities to be shared. Free wifi for YHA members. Check GrabOne for offers on YHA, $79 for 2 nights in double room, shared bathroom makes it very affordable for a city hostel

Our room was clean and with towels provided. Hanging rail and shelving for our bags and a small writing desk and chair. It was quite stuffy so slept with the windows open but as it is quite near clubs Eric at the weekend it was really noisy and we were woken often if lucky enough to sleep at all!! Otherwise... More

We stayed at a private twin there. The room smelled so bad when we went in. The beds were so soft with almost no support. It's a bit further from the center, but didn't mind the walk. Only 2 showers for the entire floor. Not recommended.

I paid 150 for 5 nights for a double bedroom. It was good enough for the price I paid. It doesn't have the best room ammenities, but at least it had comfortable beds, I had a towell, really clean facilities, a good equipped kitchen, and it is great located. The only thing I didn't like was that the BBQ was... More

Only a few bathrooms n the floor, however I never had to wait to use the toilet or shower. Staff were friendly and helpful.... More

Expensive and really needs some work upgrading the rooms. We were allocated a room in the middle of the hostel for 2 nights. It was like being in an oven. The room only contained a heater, so neither of us slept. The bed sheets weren't clean, the bunk bed was extremely creaky and will most likely break soon. The toilet... More

Great location, well equipped kitchen, there is a tv lounge and washing machines and dryers but we were disappointed to not have lockers in dorm rooms and actually no light in the room. Other people in our room told us that they had reported it to reception who told them to come back in the morning. So I went at... More

We paid 85$ a night for 2beds and nothing else, no bathroom, no waredrop, no towels.... And in addition you have to pay for internet.... Even though the facilities are good, your stay will be ruined by the incompetence and misorganisation of the staff. To be fair, I have to exclude the Housekeeping, which are doing a great job. But...

I stayed here 4 nights in a big single room, the price was really cheap considering that it was summer and the hostel is in a good location (just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Queen Street and 15-20 min. walk from the Domain, near the hospital). Facilities easy to use, nice kitchen, and I always found clean bathrooms.... More

This hostel was ok. It was quite basic, the reception staff were helpful and facilities were average in terms of cleanliness. The hostel was based at the top of a very steep hill, so not good for the unfit or those with bad knees. On the plus side, it was quiet, so you can catch up from any jet lag.... More
