Very nice place to stay

The staff is very nice and helpful. They work hard to keep the place clean. However, some guests were not very respectful in the shared areas (dirty dishes on the counter for hours, very loud music, toilet paper everywhere in the shared bathrooms). The bed was very confortable and I was glad to have access to a big locker. The hostel is perfectly situated to easily go everywhere on foot or by bus/tram/train. I would highly recommend this place to solo travellers.

Great backpackers in a great location. Everything in easy walking distance, or easy public transport options. We stayed in a double room, which was comfortable and clean. The common areas were also appreciated.

Great stay

Had a great stay in a clean Hostel that is a few minutes walk from Central Station and not far to the Opera House and Bridge. The Staff were very friendly and helpful and they have a bbq every Friday for $5. The only downside was on the M floor there is only a disabled bathroom between everybody on the floor.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made sure that they were always available. Luggage storage is available at the front desk which was very useful, even after checkout. The shared kitchen is fully stocked and the common area is well maintained. Rooms are basic but practical, beds are a good size and linens are provided. Overall great place to stay for short or long periods

I stayed in an 8 person room, but the smell of the men was so bad that I changed to a 6 person room the next day. It's close to the station and they have a movie and popcorn event every day. The staff are kind.
