Of course breakfast is a plus (some French toasts with butter, peanut butter, Vegemite and apricot jam). On the other hand, I missed some selves next to the sinks to place the toiletries.

Cheap, basic accommodation
Generally pretty good. Hostel accommodation was basic but certainly good enough for the price. I stayed in a private room and it was fairly quiet. Never had to wait to use the bathroom. They provided free food on Monday evening (rice and chilli con carne) and Wednesday evening (Dominos pizza). Free breakfast was available everyday but it is extremely basic (sliced white bread with a choice of jam, honey and peanut butter, or weetbix). Bar at the hostel is limited and only serves bottled beer. Linen is included (pillow case, bottom sheet, flat sheet). There are also duvets on the bed, but these are not washed between guests. Good location, easy to walk to the centre (about 15 mins).

Good location but thats it, I was late for the check-in but I have contacted for that and the staff forgot to send me the access code to open the door that was closed when I'm arrived. Also the 13 shared guestrooms is not very confortable and to tiny, no place for the stuffs. Even if my stuffs was on my bed, the staff has change the sheets and all my stuffs from the bed when I was outside.

Conveniently located quality hostel accommodation
Staff were friendly and helpful, quality and comfort of accommodation was great. Only downer was when one of the toilets wasn't flushing properly, management did not put out a sign out of order nor fix it overnight. Would have been helpful to have bins available for rubbish in room. Street noise can be a bit noisy in evenings when window kept open all night.

Cheap rates--helpful staff--it's a hostel
Stayed here while looking for an apartment. Good overall experience. Couldn't expect luxurious Marriot-like conditions considering I booked 7 nights for a total of $99 USD. bed sheets are cleaned, access to a furnished kitchen with the singular policy that you clean whatever you use when you're done, toast or cereal provided for breakfast, wifi, common lounge area. I Never competed with bathrooms. I stayed during the latter end of Australia winter.
