Fantastic location super close to trains and trams. Friendly and helpful staff and surprisingly big rooms with updated furnishings and appliances, even though the building itself is older. The only issue with our ensuite room was that our showers kept setting off the fire alarm! Not much ventilation, unfortunately! But apart from that, we have no complaints. Great place for a great price.

Unfortunately, the shower/bathroom facilities ruined the stay for us here. Staff were amazingly friendly and super helpful, room was perfect but the toilets were constantly filthy from other guests. And I mean badly, urination on the floor and toilet seats, filthy toilets from other bodily fluids. I understand that comes with the territory of shared bathrooms but other hostels have been x100 times cleaner and these obviously needed more frequent cleanings.

A great room for the price. Towels, tv, wifi and in the CBD right next to trams & train. A quarter of the cost of the Sheridan across the street 😀
