Pros +
- Friendly atmosphere and staff, great system for late book-in with envelopes set up for late arrivals
- The price - the hostel is very very basic (eg no windows in rooms). But the price is so affordable that it’s an okay place to stay. The kitchen was clean, but the rooms leave a lot to be desired. But it’s cheap!!

Cool staff and good location
Broken bed f
Leaving.Cooking dinner was okay, providing you're happy risking your life from a gas explosion.
Where to begin?It was like a sauna and it smelled like BO. Air-conditioning never worked.Showers are gross and terrible water pressure. There was blood on the shower mats for days and wasn't cleaned. The shower floor itself was chipped away and broken. The seats in the kitchen looked like they were found in a skip. The free "breakfast" was stale cardboard tasting cereal and room temperature milk that had a funny taste. Lots of Spanish and French people speaking loudly in the rooms, even louder outside at night so good luck if you want to sleep. The beds were so squeaky, god forbid you want to roll over in the night without it sounding like an orchestra. The rooms just smelled like sweat and BO. People have never heard of deodorant but because it's so so hot in the rooms I fear everyone's sweat has just seeped into the mattresses, duvet and pillows. Genuinely id rather buy a tent and camp out.
Good location and clean facilities
We booked a private room which you don’t mind paying the extra price for when staying in hostels sometimes. Only to find that our room was very small and didn’t come with ANY! Power outlets? Which we found very bizzare and means we couldn’t charge anything in our room. We told a member of the staff and they had no solution for this and not even a suggestion of compensation? When paying the extra money for a private room we thought that this would definitely be one of the basics? We got past the point that the room was also tiny and not worth the money we were paying but wouldn’t stay here again, due to the fact of no power outlet. Lastly, they advertise that there is free continental breakfast between 9-10am which we thought is great but when we went down one morning at 9:30am, there was nothing out and not even spare cutlery, plates,bowls, cups etc? Not to mention no sight of any food
Not a good example of...
No towel, tiny room, kitchen full of 'live ins'. Parking was disorganised and limited
Location.
No quiet times (people playing football in the backyard at 1 am or making calls in the rooms at absolutely any time). No lockers available in the rooms, all occupied by fifo workers. Homeless people coming to sleep late night, helped by hostel customers to get in.
Clean & comfy. Adequate facilities-no towels or toiletries.No windows. But surprisingly quiet. Staff friendly (but hardly there) & after hours(4pm onwards…)check in well done.
NOT suitable for families or older couples. Most were in twenties working/looking for work. Very unfriendly people(despite our smiles & hello’s) almost hostile.We received far too many emails(up to a dozen ) stating pretty much the same thing.
I really appreciated the use of coded door access and the flexible after-hours check-in and check-out policy. These thoughtful features make this hostel one of the best I’ve stayed in.
The room I stayed in had an AC unit directly above my bed, which made me wonder why the heating was on during summer. It would also be great if they added individual bedside lighting for each bed to make nighttime more convenient.

Location
Felt run down and lacking a deep clean. Intimidating common areas , mainly male backpackers that appeared to be living long term there. Would not recommend for single travelling female
The friendly and helpful staff
The backyard smoking area is small, cold and damp because it only gets the afternoon sun
The bed was very creaky if you moved it made a lot of noise
Good location, clean,
The people were friendly best place to stay it's quite. People are respectfully no noise after 10pm no party's or silly people. Very nice environment. Must stay.
It's cold place.
Good location. Fairly quiet, kind and relaxed staff. Kitchen is cleaner than other hostels.
Rooms do not have windows and are artificially aired, which result on them being cold during winter times as there’s no heating
Central location Kitchen facilities
Room very small, still noisy in private rooms, not hostels fault but inconsiderate untidy other 'guests'
The staff was super friendly and always willing to help. The atmosphere is great for meeting new people, as guests are constantly rotating , unlike other places where long-term stays create closed-off groups. Bathrooms and rooms were clean, and the location is very convenient, close to the city center.
Nothing in particular — I had a great experience.
Nothing to like about this property, for the price it’s not worthy.
No towels, no basic soap or basic shower essentials, room was so basic. Bed was full of stain and sheets was not set and I have to do it myself.
Good location.
Very basic breakfast, as basic as it gets. Squeaky beds and no individual lights.
