    Pros +

    • The location wasn’t ideal, it wasn’t made clear that the other property was 10 mins away, thankfully we had a car. The room was okay, we booked a double bed but ended up with a 4 man bunk bed room which we had to ourselves. The kitchen amenities were AWFUL, dirty kitchen, 1 gas stove that didn’t work and absolutely no pots, pans or plates available. No dish cloths, sponges or tea towels, we couldn’t even clean the table to sit down and eat. Thankfully we bought some leftovers from home in plastic containers and could heat them up in the microwave. Definitely won’t be coming back.
    • Friendly staff and guests (all of them were backpackers like us), large outside space to sit, chill, meet other guests, free small breakfast
    • Well, first of all, we didn’t get the room we reservatet, because it was somehow already booket when we showed up. Second of all, the house we were then thrown into, was not clean. My mate got bedbugs, from sleeping in their bed. Overall the worst hostel we stayed at, in our time in Australia

    Cons -

    • The room was not for two people as it was said in our check in paper. The hostel was a mess, and dirty.
    • Very strong smell of mold in the room, no equipment to cook in the kitchen (bring your own pots,dishes utensils, etc.)
    • The fact that the management left a swipe card for me to access the room after hours and I wasn't able to gain access into the room and was left without accommodation overnight. Not impressed!

    Nothing!

    Good water pressure

    Cleanliness, no locking showers, bed springs instead of mattresses. Not informed that our free breakfast was not available on Sundays

    Excellent breakfast

    Nobody at reception when I arrived, but receptionist did arrive a few minutes later and apologised, so not a bid deal

    6IsabellaPosted on: 1-12-2025

    The staff/owners were really nice and helpful, very good central location

    I stayed on a Saturday, BIG MISTAKE!! it was the noisiest place I think I’ve ever stayed, it was so loud it gave me a headache and I could hear it over my earphones on full blast ?

    9IvanPosted on: 1-4-2025

    Perfect central location very close to the shopping centre, excellent customer service and Free breakfast!?

    1LyndenPosted on: 1-3-2025

    The place was so dirty . I have pics of the shower drain and it was so dirty. It had so much hair in the drain. I have photos you will be shocked

    The filth

    Location. Kitchen. Showers

    No upper floor restroom. Far to walk to the restroom.

    5DarrenPosted on: 12-6-2024

    Price and vibe was good.

    2 singles beds were asked for and the room had a double bed. The guests start leaving around 3 am using the kitchen facilities and was rather noisy.

    4IsobelPosted on: 12-4-2024

    One option for breakfast.

    Super dirty establishment. The kitchen was a mess and shared bathroom was revolting.

    1RowePosted on: 11-10-2024

    Location to town was reasonable.

    Over crowded by working Chinese and Japanese, who always left the kitchen very dirty.Rooms were overcrowded and small,The only available area to eat or relax was a small area like one of those dinning areas on a US prison movie !

    1NiznikPosted on: 11-10-2024

    Getting on the bus at 10 pm to get the heck out of there!!!!!

    Absolutely brutal. So disgusting in every way… the rooms were not clean nor was the bedding!! The kitchen made me nauseous… half eaten food left on cooking tables, overall not clean. Bathrooms didn’t even have hand soap.

    The friendly people,trusty and quite.

    1TaylorPosted on: 9-2-2024

    Nothing really

    Got a room with a door that didn’t lock, as a single women this was scary especially since 80% of the other stayers were men. The owner offered to refund but there was nothing else available. There was no cutlery in the kitchen and it was gross, the room was clean and tidy tho

    Very unprofessional and disgusting hostel. No cleanliness and smell in rooms

    Property was average
