    Do not go here. Terrible customer service and business practice. My girlfriend stayed here last night and forgot her keys to her room. Out of the kindness of her new friends next door, they let her sleep in their room as my gf could not contact staff and get into her room that night. In the next morning she was forced to pay for two rooms instead of one and was not allowed her luggage until she paid. Disgusting and absolutely shocking customer service. Do not support this kind of business.

    Well...If u like dirty bathrooms, showers which are not able to lock and a hidden lockated moddy hostel, then go for it. Price is okay...but with breakfast? There isnt really one in the dirty kitchen -without toastbread and peanutbuter. In the center of the city - you can also call Asia...asian district...so all in all not really recommendable! We had a very strange first impression - the hostel is quite hidden its behind george street. Ad on this, our room was not ready for us, a 4 share room and our 2 beds were full with stuff of the other 2 strange roommates. (Which were for sure longer there than 1 month...) however not a nice begin. And yeah you can not really sleep when they talk until 3 a.m. in the morning on the outside area - where is it allowed to hang on until 11pm. The reception which should be there from 8.30 am - 7pm is there from 9am- 6pm - not quite serious and professionel. Once stole me s.b. a coke zero from the fridge, even tough my name was on it- so not a lovely place to be.

    Dirty, small, breakfast was literally just cereal that you made yourself. Staff could be difficult to deal with. Bathrooms and common areas were very dirty, no AC.

    Staff is very friendly and helpful. Some facilities aren't up to par (bathroom lights only work Sometimes, sinks leak, etc). Mattresses and pillows aren't exceptionally comfortable. But very clean. No noise issues. Overall a nice place to stay, especially at this price point mid city.

    The rooms were squalid and the kitchen dank. If there were any features or benefits it would be the proximity to Central Station, Paddy's Haymarket & The Mountbatten Hotel.

    Very smal court yard 2x8. The fan was broken. The sheets were given to me by the owner dirty and she acknowledged that they are dirty but it should do. Most people live there are old bogan Australians who lived permanently 11 years+ Smells really bad. The oldies that are living there are clicky and not friendly. Was a very bad Took 20$ key deposits but not available to take they key back at check out.

    Alright hostel with okay facilities. The common area is really cozy and the art work in the yard is very decorative. The location could hardly be any better, however, it is pretty noisy - especially since the windows had to be opened because there is no aircon. This is a minor problem and I was very satisfied the entire month of my stay. Oh, and free breakfast I a nice touch.

    The photos are captivating but in reality these environments have seen better times! Cleanliness is lacking or summary. Bathrooms are shared by males and females. The kitchen is not very well looked after. Sticky floors and doors! A real nightmare!

    Great reception, help with bags, relocation to lower floor on request and 11a.m. check-in. Bloody awesome! clean and spacious single rooms super close to Chinatown's best allocations THANKYOU! no air-con= maybe too hot in summer???

    The price is reasonable and it is convenient to move around as it is located in the corner of a hotel that has been around for a long time.

    Typical hostel, by that i mean backpackers everywhere, communal bathroom. The usual. Unfortunately the backpackers were very untidy in tbe communal areas despite the staff's best efforts to get on top of them. Apart from that, the staff were lovely, the room we were in was clean and comfortable. Although there was construction occurring during our stay, and scaffolding was up near our window, which had no fly screen, so we had to keep it closed during the night, despite it being 30 degrees.

    You won't get better for the price. Location is great. Pretty clean. If you like comfort pass your way. This is a cheap backpacker.
