10/10 Exceptional

Would highly recommend!!
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in Australia. Rooms were cleaned daily, beds comfortable, bathrooms clean. Kitchen got a big messy at times but do not believe that was at fault of the management but rather the other guests. Was spotless every morning. Lots of utensils, appliances and space to be shared! Reception was super friendly and check in/out was quick and easy! Short walk into city centre and bus stops to access beaches around the corner!

8/10 Very good

Very good kitchen facilities, good room.
Room was fine for a standard hostel, very basic. We had a private room. Kitchen area was GREAT so many ovens and stove tops, loads of fridges for food......really good. The one thing that drove us INSANE on a 40 degree day, you had to go down to reception to get the AC turned on/off. So we are calling reception at 2am to get it turned off, no one answers, so we have to walk down the stairs at 2am. Just really puffed us off. I understand why they do it, but it meant we were then away till 4am trying to get back to sleep after going downstairs

2/10 Poor

Please be aware, the place has homeless people coming there in the evening. The shared bathrooms are dirty, had shavings all over. I was afraid for my mom with what looked like addicts/homeless people all around the area and at the place. After paying for the room and paying for parking and going out till the evening before bringing my stuff in, I felt uncomfortable/unsafe there. I dropped the keys off and checked out, booking a better place the night of...
