“Really nice hostel, would stay again”

Reviewed 20 March 2013

Really nice hostel with good atmosphere. Rooms are good, I was in a 4bed female dorm. Big recreation area with table tennis table. Located in centre of Albany pretty much. I was part of Aussie wander tour and we even got pancakes for breakfast which were excellent.

Awesome you made the effort to write us a review Mona, thank you! So many people come to us to say they will but we understand that travelling is full of new moments and experiences, and it is hard to look back. We appreciate it! I hope your Aussie Wanderer Tour went well after you left, you got to see... More

“The place to stay in Albany”

Reviewed 17 March 2013

I simply loved it there. It was a really familiar athmosphere (especially with the fresh pancakes in the morning!). The rooms and the bathroom were clean and the rooms were really nice and colourful. In my opinion the nicest hostel in Western Australia!
