Awful experience overall. The mattress allowed you to feel the springs stabbing you during the back, the elevator represented an adrenaline rush each time you took it, there were people all around the halls and corridors making noise during day and night, there were open grilles above every door so you could hear every noise the teenagers were doing during the night, depriving you from sleep without much hesitation. There were no rules enforced regarding general order, cleanliness or mutual respect among the guests. The cherry on top on the cake was the fire alarm going off at around 10:00 PM for no good reason at all, making us evacuate the building. The only good thing about the place is the location, other than that wouldn't recommend it to anyone but teenagers who don't care much about anything but partying or activities alike.

Overall pretty bad experience. Room and beds were dirty. They use the same duvets for everyone. After asking for a new clean duvet at the reception, they didn't even bring me one. Bathrooms and kitchen dirty too. Hostel is run down. Lots of the amenities don't even work properly. The kitchen is way too small for the amount of people. Zero space left for your food bags. I slept so bad because people are screaming all the time. And the Wifi didn't work in the bedrooms, only in the lobby and kitchen. The only advantage is the location of the hostel, pretty close to central station.

Poor Hostel, there are three nice thing: friendly staff, cool elevator, nice rooftop terrace. Very dirty, and poor facilities, wholes in the walls, one socket per 6bed room, no lockers. It definitely needs renovation, and focus on cleaning

Went here to stay for the night. Was fairly cheap however, the conditions represented this. The floors were not very clean and were in poor condition. One of the beds had spots of blood on this and the outside noise when trying to sleep was very loud. Over all, u got what u paid for.

Location is fantastic - I booked a solo room. As it’s an old Queenslander / heritage building so be aware that the rooms are not sound proof and windows are always open - bring an eye mask and ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. This is a decently priced hostel with a great location right in the middle of the city. As said before it is an older hotel so if you are used to traveling in more modern hostels it may not be for you.

I’ve stayed in hostels for the same price that were way less nice with a lot fewer facilities than this one. Check-in was efficient and smooth. The app is a great addition to the experience. Cheap beer in the bar below. Of course it’s not 5 star hotel quality of cleanliness, but you get what you pay for. Only downside to me is the clientele can be loud at night… lotsa young party people. But if that’s your vibe or it doesn’t bother you, I’d recommend staying here.

I would recommend not staying here, not only because I feel as if the lift is about to break, but also because most of the staff are quite rude and some residents who stay long term are real nasty pieces of work. As well as that a heads up, one of the staff you should definitely stay away from if you are female....

Had a great time at NOMADs. Very helpful staff, considerate. Enjoyed my stay in Brisbane at a reasonable rate for a single traveller.

One of the best hostels in Brisbane, in the company of lovely people, right in the centre of Brisbane. In a beautiful building and directly above the Dunder Bar. There is no better place to live in Brisbane and the hostel has a large kitchen and a cinema room where films are shown regularly. We highly recommend this place for both short and long stays. Stay as you are and keep up the good work.

Great centrally located hostel where you can actually book your own room. Very old building though with narrow corridors and tiny heritage lift with doors difficult to open. Not disability friendly.

Worst hostel I have stayed in. I felt like I was sleeping on the street as the windows were absolutely not soundproofed. Same applied to the door: I heard every word that was spoken on the hallway and people snoring in the rooms next doors. Everything felt filthy and dirty. Although cheap definitely not worth it as I barely was able to sleep.

Great location, rooms are fairly grim, our air-conditioning unit was broken we had to empty the water it produced every day into the bathroom sinks, room faced inwards towards the "courtyard" meaning other people could see directly in to our room and vice versa. Fire alarm went off while we were there and I went downstairs to see what was happening, firemen were in the building when I went to the lobby, I went to go back upstairs to tell my friends we should leave the building and the manager forced me to leave saying " your friends will be told to get out" I waited outside for my friends to come down but they never did. When thr firemen left I went back to my room and asked my friends if they were told they should leave their room to which they replied no. Other people on that floor were also not told to leave, bit bad out if you ask me. Location was good though, the bar attached to the hostel is dire though and stank of sick. Showers have great pressure..

I came with low expectations based on former reviews and those expectations were met! You’re not going to sleep til after 3am, though a perfect setup if you’re a party animal. It’s a shame nothings been touched since the place opened (it used to be a half way house), most run down, dirty hostel I’ve ever been in. Women’s toilet near our room had two cubicles, one was out of order the other had a constant stream of water from the back of toilet running in front of it so pack a good pair of thongs for any bathroom visits unless you want to catch a disease. Two stars for friendly staff and central location

DO NOT STAY HERE! The photos online are deceptive and aren’t reflective of how it looks now, they fail to mention the flood and water damage it has suffered. I booked a week here for a getaway from cairns, to which I left after the 2nd night to stay somewhere else. The walls are peeling and exposed (poorly hidden behind some posters) the whole building smells musky, especially the rooms. My rooms carpet was moulding and peeling, the “air conditioning” is just a dehumidifier/cooler which can’t be adjusted, is on a timer and drips into a bucket underneath. It makes a hell of a racket so sleep was near impossible. The damp in the walls made me sick after the first night. The facilities were like a Russian gulag. Paper towel dispensers empty the whole time I was there, no water pressure in the taps. The showers have no privacy as after you’re finished you have to step out in the open to grab your towel. The kitchen was disgraceful. The balcony they brag about was shut indefinitely. Overall a poor experience. The lady who checked me in wasn’t rude but definitely was friendly. However the lady who checked me out and refunded my money was helpful so that’s a plus

I have been here for a few months now and it truly is not as bad as you think. You would have to put into consideration the age of the building. It used to be a people’s palace so it is a very old building. The kitchen is a good size so you don’t have to worry about people on top of you. The staff is always finding ways to improve our stay and are more than willing to accommodate for any mishaps. Housekeepers are very friendly and offer a change of sheets for long term guests which is very nice. The roof top is probably my favourite part of the hostel. It’s a big roof top with space for lots of people to sit and enjoy and mingle amongst others. Hostels are not 5 star hotels. It’s a safe place for travellers and backpackers to come along and stop by for however long and honestly for the price and the positive atmosphere that the staff always gives, I would stay in this hostel time and time again. Don’t knock it til you try it out.

Location is amazing, right opposite the central station and close to all the shops and clubs! I Was there for the wet Wednesday and trivia night, which was really great fun! The building is old and of course has its downfalls but they are currently doing construction work to improve so can’t fault them! The rooms were clean and all the staff were really friendly, I was checked in by a girl called Beth who was really helpful with explaining the facilities and convincing us to go and play the trivia! Will definitely be back to stay long term when I’m back in Brisbane to work! The hostel has a real homely vibe to it and a great team of staff across the board! Me and my friends really enjoyed our few nights here and can’t wait to come back and see the results of the improvements they are making to the building!

Booked two single beds in a 4 bed mixed dorm. Got two single beds in two different 6 bed mixed dorms because "nah we are booked out sorry guys". We booked 3 weeks in advance. Entire house reeks of cigarettes and bad restaurant. Run down AC machines and filthy rooms. People arguing all night and permanent residents. Bed sheets werent cleaned at all, if you can even call them sheets. The blanket is just some wool blanket that hadn't been washed in ages. Ignore all the other reviews, this is the cheapest Hostel in Brisbane for a reason. Pay that extra 5$ more to not get 7 different illnesses.

Really good location and lovely staff, however a lot lacking. The building is extremely old, so that has to be taken into account but the rooms are incredibly hot and the ac unit is insanely loud, the loudest I've ever heard. Impossible to sleep with it on so you wake up very hot. Each door has a wooden, open pattern/pannel above it so you can hear every noise in the hallway and it also allows the hallway light to shine through. Trying to sleep here was very difficult and I had a private room. The beds are ok, but the bedding is just a duvet between two sheets, which means during the night they come apart. My duvet has so many stains on it, including blood stains... didn't need to see that. Rooms were also very dusty. Toilets were average for a hostel, but one toilet was broken, definitely needs an upgrade. Laundry on my floor with a card machine(!) Was a great addition as was the goki app for key cards. Wifi was hit/miss, but again to be expected in a hostel.

This hostel is very convenient and economical. Perfect location near station,super market and queen street. Public space like kitchen, toilet clean every day. The bed also very confortible.However, The room is not soundproof enough to hear outside and neighbors. you can use ear blocks. I think it still acceptable.Because your roommates also may snore too😂

I had a room in nomads when i came here to checkin there is this beautiful lady named amazon at the reception. She is so adorable, sweet and humble when i request her to give me the room in first floor she tried and make it possible. After the check in process is done i was talking with her for few minutes and she is really good in the conversation.i will definitely visit nomads next time just because of amazon.

Great hostel. Stayed here for a week and had a grand time! Shout out to a bunch of the staff - especially Dougie and Shawn. As well as the small bubbly bartender/receptionist who enjoys the company of travelling chef's who live in the hostel. Watch out for the handsome guy named James, I hear he is on the lookout for a wife!

Lovely building. The heritage listed elevator is gorgeous, the location superb, the rooms very reasonable, especially for the price. The community vibe led by the staff is exceptional. If you let them, they really make it feel like home. My only gripe is the PowerPoint locations in the rooms. Best bring an extension lead or powerboard. (4 bed dorm & double room shown. Pack light if you go for a single room: they're absolutely tiny)

Staff have great vibes 🧚🏼‍♂️

Very bad We booked in advance because we knew we will arrive late because of our train. We came at the expected time, exhausted, with big suitcases, and the reception guy didn’t want us to take our room… We had to convince him and show him our payment for the night ! No backpackers around, everything was empty but it was very dirty anyway. We stayed 3 nights and nothing was ever cleaned… The toilets and showers were disgusting and nobody around to check. I wouldn’t recommend this backpacker hostel.

Friendly staff, standard rooms though some weird PowerPoint layouts, lockers available. Bathrooms were dirty but useable. No hot water in the shower or sinks. I had a room facing onto the street which got lots of traffic noises. They also checked-in two men into our female only dorm in the middle of then night. Staff fixed the problem straight away.

Pretty grim hostel everywhere felt, smelled and looked dirty. It seemed like everyone who stayed here either worked there or was working in the area so it’s not ideal if you’re trying to socialise as a back packer. Room was filthy with 3 cockroaches round and generally looked and had an unclean feel about it. Positives I can say is the reception staff were friendly and the price was good - but clearly at a cost.

The location is perfect and the people are super nice. The rooms are a bit outdated, the smell was not good but i think it was the people in the room that smelled bad and the beds are not te best. There were only 6 lockers in an 8 bed dorm so that was not to great for the new guy. Now on the positive note, the showers were clean and warm, the bar downstairs is a lot of fun and a free drink and the hostel has free dinner nights!!

I was disappointed since the moment I got there. There's a MASSIVE construction going on that building and the one in front that will probably last a good few months and they wouldn't even bother to let people know beforehand, let alone take down their price considering you can't sleep as the tradies work all evening from 10pm to 6am. The video I recorded is at 3am, have a look and take your own conclusions. Besides that, it's a VERY old building, falling apart, toilets are disgusting, old carpet that smells really bad everywhere, careless service from staff im reception. I finished up my tree horrible nights in there and moved to another one 10 minutes walk away, same price and it's been great so far. Location is OK, next to supermarket and train station, that's all the positives about it... sorry I hate to leave bad reviews but I really don't think this is fair what they're doing with people.

Great hostel! Awesome vibe if you are travelling alone, they have heaps of events for solo traveler’s. The dunder bar is open 6 days a week and a restaurant right downstairs :) Definitely going to stay again!

The best hostel in Brisbane! Price performance is great, cool people and super rooms. I felt welcome straight away and can only recommend it to others.

Very affordable and great staff

I've been staying here for a few weeks now and it has been great! The staff is lovely and all the events organized in the hostel and in the bar downstairs makes it really easy to meet new people. I recommend it a 100% if you want to stop by Brisbane a few days because location is really convenient, or even to settle in longer and make new friends! Bonus : Rooftop with a great view on the CBD and a movie room open all day 😍

Great location nearby the central station. Not quite as much because the room is close to the street and has a bar. But I'm fine with that. The last day I check out there has an issue with the water can't use the toilet and shower. Upset with that.

Loren, Matt and the rest of the staff was nice & lovely Helped me and made me feel home, a cool place to stay See ya 🤙🏼

Nice and clean hostel:) People working here are awesome, especially AJ who always go above and beyond for all our needs:) such a good place to stay and in the Centre of the city.

Very good location, you have access to everything you need basically locationwise. Staff is super friendly and a straight forward. Considering that this is a super old building, you have to have luck, because rooms tend to change from the quality, but otherwise they are all decent. Huge plus are the events with a lot of free food and drinks as well as events You guys NEED to go to the Sunday BBQ, I can highly recommend it, because love is around every corner :))

Great customer service! Rachel and Luca on reception deserve a special shout-out for being so helpful and friendly! Location is perfect, and the bars downstairs are a massive plus. Can’t wait to stay here again when I’m next in Brisbane

The hostel is in many parts dirty and partly neglected. Wall plaster crumbles, there are holes in the carpet, faucets are not working properly, showers are dirty... The only upsides are the occasional free food and the location near the CBD. Would nevertheless not recommend.

The hostel was absolutely disgusting! The beds were cleanly made, but there were cockroaches running around in the room! The shower and toilet were fine again, but the kitchen was a totally dirty room, disgusting and unhygienic! Very few people wash the used dishes and no one cleans anything! You can wash everything off first before using! The whole hostel also stank of feces or something similar! Would never check into this hostel again!

Great location, friendly staff, rooms are cleaned every day and beds are always made with new clean bedding after every person. Very social and active, definitely recommend!

Loved my stay here! Brilliant location and a cool vibe. Place is under construction so have to allow for some losses but overall great! Beth was amazing, always there to help and encouraged us to come down to the bar which turned into a few great nights! Will definitely come back when I’m back in Brisbane!

Perfect hostel to explore Brisbane for a few days and also great as a longterm resident. I've been here for 2 months and feel super comfortable. Everyone here is super nice, I never feel alone and it's easy to make friends. the staff are very helpful and friendly. Another plus point is the distance from the hostel! It's only a 1-2 minute walk and you're already in the city center. There is also a small supermarket right across the street and a large Woolworth's 3 minutes away! The hostel has a super big kitchen which is cleaned 3 times a day. The hostel also has a movie room and you can even play fifa and other games! I can highly recommend this hostel!

A really unbelievable great hostel! The hostel is in an old building and so cute, the rooms are great! Downstairs is a bar from which you can hear nothing in the rooms! Everything is really clean and the people are super nice! The staff is very courteous and always helps! In addition, the location is central and everything is within walking distance! I would recommend to everyone! Whether alone or as a couple or as a family! All room categories meet expectations! In addition, all rooms have air conditioning, which you can adjust according to your wishes!!

Overall, this hostel felt tired and in need of a renovation. Felt like a haunted hotel movie sometimes with the lack of lighting in the halls. The bathrooms were never clean - there was even a ladder and paint bucket sitting in one of the shower stalls. The evaporative air conditioning they put in the room was very loud and keeps you up all night. The heritage elevator was cool though. The main advantage of this hostel is the location - near train station, Woolies, etc.

Men's toilets on the ground floor are closed bc of construction, 1st floor only one toilet with a broken lock. Have fun guys! Also very dirty common areas and a loud standalone ac in the middle of the room. You better get slushed or have earplugs

I really love this hostel! If you are looking for good location this is the place, just in the heart of CBD is All nations, all the staff is nice and would help you with everything. I have been living in here more than 1 month and I don’t want to move to other place, the kitchen is full equipped, but if you don’t want to cook just down the stairs is this nice bar 4 pines where you can eat the nicest food. The bathrooms and everything is super clean, so I will say is the best hostel that you can find in Brisbane!

Arrived to an unattended reception and an uncleaned room, thankfully that's where the problems ended. There had been issued with a new charger that were quickly sorted out by foh staff and the rest of my stay was as pleasant as it could be. Expect high noise levels due to the club below and all the maintenance issues that come with a heritage building (set your expectations low) and you won't be disappointed. One of the cheapest places to stay in Brisbane.

Pro: - Best location for a hostel in Brisbane. - Direct next to the down under bar. - 15 mins away from The Valley if u walk - The hostel has a lot of potential. - free food on Friday and Saturday - rooftop chill area Con: - it’s not really made for people who wanna stay longtime. They don’t block your bed, so it can be that you have to change rooms or the hostel - they really need a freezer in the kitchen - you can’t rely on a certain amount that you have to pay every week for your stay. The rent is not fix and changes every week even if you are in the same room - In the kitchen you often lose your appetite because of the smell. A room spray could help - what’s also missing is a room to socialize. In the kitchen often everyone eats alone on his table instead of talking to each other. A big table so that everyone eats together could create a more social atmosphere as well.

Has external charm, but the internal values are very very rare. The exception is the wonderful heritage listed elevator. The room smelled indefinably musty, let’s don’t talk about the stainful carpet (Why????). Glaring OP light as ceiling light, one socket, dirty bedding, 1 of 2 toilets broken, ramshackle hallways. The hostel is swept empty, yet you get the double room in the backyard to the club, not quite understandable. The room next door looks like someone broke in. It is a pity that there is zero interest in at least maintaining the standard. I have only had similar hostels in Morocco. Positive was the very nice staff and the new air conditioning.

Great location otherwise the kitchen is in poor condition as well as the bathrooms. Cleanliness let's this place down as the staff are very helpful on the other hand. If it was cleaner, this would be great value for money.

The staff etc are pretty nice people, the hotel itself needs alot of work, something that should/could of been done during lockdowns & covid yet they dont want to invest any money no doubt. Way nicer backpackers to stay at which are well maintained, Brisbane Nomads is not, examples are broken windows in bathrooms, doors dont lock at all, walls/carpets are grubby & peeling off, extension leads laying across the floor so people can trip up on them which are there 24 hours, it just has a real I dont want to put any money into the place to maintain it I just wanna take take take, single room rates get to the point you might as well just stay at a hotel, they will respond with its a heritage building you cant do this do that etc, lol you aint changing the facade, replacing broken windows so people cant see into the toilet from outside has nothing to do with heritage standards, has everything to do with a cheap operator, rooms have like 0 soundproofing, dont know why they bother with fire doors to the rooms when theres like a big open gap above the door that would let smoke straight in seems a bit pointless, no social room anywhere, the bars below that are so called backpackers bars will try charge you 11.00 for a scooner lol most expensive in brisbane, anyway I would book this place if there was nothing else.

It's great for what it is, but you should be certain that it's a good fit for you. Not for fussy or introverted people. The location is amazing, staff are super helpful and welcoming, and you'll definitely be able to meet loads of interesting people & party it up. For the most part, other guests seemed really friendly and chill. Beds are surprisingly comfortable and though the building is old, I'm very pleased to report that I did not encounter any creepy crawlies at all. On the downside, it is a dorm with all the inconveniences of one. One bad roommate can change your whole experience, and having bathrooms located a long way from your room is pretty annoying, especially if you have a lot of cosmetics. Shower room had windows constantly open, so it was pretty chilly at times. Shared facilities are tolerably clean, but could definitely be better. My own experience ended up being pretty bad because I was too busy with bridesmaid business to enjoy the social perks of the place and I got a roommate who didn't have the common sense not to bring male hook-ups to the female-only "sanctuary" room. If you want to be sure that you don't encounter any strange dudes in your room at five in the morning, just book a private room. Kudos to staff for their handling of the situation.

The rooms were clean and spacious and the receptionists were extremely friendly and helpful! There was a cool rooftop area and the general location was great too! The only downside was the kitchen was pretty dirty and crowded, dirty dishes piled up everywhere and a struggle to find anything clean to use, other than that it was great!

I worked for accommodation in here. Excellent location, just in front of the central train station. Friendly and lovely staff. It has 2 bars downstairs named "Dawn under" and "4 pines". The roof top is perfect to chill with people from everywhere. Do not expected 5stars accommodation cause is a simple backpacker for backpackers with backpacker's environment. It is not for long term.

As I said I stayed in room 509 I had a charger in the room before I left I checked the bedroom to make sure I had all my belongings before I checked out I’m pretty sure during my stay someone had gone into my room I’m 100% sure on taking my Samsung android charger cord know when I’ve called the hotel no one has come forward and told me that they’ve done this I want my belongings back and I don’t want I should be allowed to leave the room and no no one is gonna go in there and take my things. The dude working there and said to me only arm international travellers are allowed to stay there making it seem like Australians can’t today in hostels even though plenty of Australians do I don’t know why he’s giving out false in accurate information. It be careful when staying here as you wouldn’t know if your things would be stolen or damaged when you leave the kitchen there is pretty gross and is made of a good series clean and the smell in the kitchen is disgusting it’s a foul odour

My experience was not what I expected. I booked a room to myself...within 30 mins of relaxing on bed... I had a staff member knock & walk in like he was a cop. They mixed up my wrong room. No communication or friendliness & no apology. So I just left. Room was drafty cold anyway. Never had this in past travels.

Absolutely loved my stay in All Nations Brisbane! The staff are so welcoming and really make staying here so nice, its very homely. Rooms are nice and spacious and its located right in the center of Brisbane cbd and opposite the train station! Cannot recommend enough thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Shout out to Dougie for being the best:))))

If you are thinking of booking here, dont, this place is an absolute dump. The rooms and interior is old and beyond repair, paint peeling from the walls and fixtures falling down. Rubbish bags were often left in the hallway outside the elevator making it an escape hazard and presenting a disgusting smell. As for the noise you will be welcomed with doors being slammed constantly and late into the night. As well as a minority of rude and selfish guests that think its fine to be yelling and screaming outside peoples rooms at 2:30 in the morning. Each room has a open vent above the door so you can hear everything around you as well as having the corridor lights shine right into your room during the night. Quite frankly you would get a better night's rest sleeping on the street than you would in this place. Avoid at all costs.

Super friendly staff , great location

Nice old lift, very nice and awesome to ride in, but it does break down every now and then, not too often though, but that’s probably because they use a not so good maintenance company, maybe change to KONE or Otis, but it’s still awesome to ride in when working

Amazon gave us great customer service and helped us with any queries we had during our stay. Great vibes from the staff and awesome vintage looking joint! Thanks to Sue the amazing housekeeper for her great work. Go Nomads!

I stayed for some nights here. I spent good times with my roommates. The kitchen is little but you have all you need. I had a problem between my suitcases and the company who was supposed to send them in my country. The team was understanding and helped me while I find a solution.

Overall great experience staying here, the staff were really approachable and dealt with any issues straight away. They went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable, would definitely stay here again. The manager was great as well really good guy.

I’ve had a really good experience at this hostel. The customer service has been excellent, in particular Beth who he helped me out many times. The rooms are mostly really nice, with only one that I stayed in not having AC. The only thing that I would say needed improving is the toilets as some of them are very dirty and don’t all have locks on

Overall is great value for the location, just across from Central Station, Woolworths is opposite side and other places just in walking distance. Here is Heritage Building with cool elevator, nice rooftop, fine kitchen and common area. There is 24/7 reception which is quite good and safe. The room was in okay condition with sockets, wardrobe, bin and side table. Unfortunately, my single room has no air-conditioning or fan. This was really nightmare for travelers staying in the summer time. There are 4 men's toilets on the 4th floor, however one was blocked while the other has no door. So, only 2 toilets are available for the whole floor. In addition, they need a really good maintenance or renovation. Thus, if you are looking for a great location to stay i would highly recommended but if you are after fancy hostel, please go somewhere else.

The hotel is a luxurious vacation destination with magnificent views and first-class amenities. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated and the staff is attentive and helpful. The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring the city and nearby attractions, cafes (restaurants) A truly enjoyable experience.

I absolutely loved my time at All Nations Brisbane. If you're looking for a really sociable hostel with plenty going on then this is the one for you. There's a free drink every night in the bar, free pancakes on a Friday and free food at the Sunday BBQ as well. The rooms were clean and the beds comfy and spacious. All the staff were really friendly and helpful and the rooftop is a nice little perk, too. If you're arriving from out of town then it's conveniently placed by the train station and central to all the shops, bars, and restaurants. Shout out to Dougie as well, the guy is a legend!

It's a scam. The photos don't really look anything like the hostel. The rooftop is not accessible because it's being renovated (for a long time, but it's not mentioned). The rooms are dirty, never cleaned, the only thing that's done on a daily basis is to change the room garbage cans. For our part, we booked a room for 4 for greater comfort, but it was ridiculously small, we had to walk all over ourselves, and there was no space for our luggage. In addition, there is a "hole" above all the bedroom's door, so you understand everything... The bathrooms aren't great either: all the showers don't work properly, and neither do the taps. The kitchen is too small for the number of people in the hostel... We step on each other too, all the hotplates don't work, and I even think that some of the fridges where we stored food no longer work either. Generally speaking, the hostel is poorly maintained, as evidenced by the fact that we experienced a major water leak due to a broken toilet. We had to evacuate one morning, then lived without electricity for a whole day, we washed in the dark and the same for meals one evening... Obviously, don't expect any compensation, and what's more, the hostel doesn't refund you if you want to leave early (unlike the vast majority in Australia). The only positive points are the location and the bar below the hostel.
