    I was kinda surprised by the USB plugins by every bed, making it convenient to charge my electronic devices. The kitchen was also nice and clean, and the location of the hostel was close to everything I needed. I had a great experience and would recommend this place.

    The hotel is great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail. The location is perfect, located in the city centre and close to everything you'll need. The service provided by the staff is commendable, and the basic amenities are well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and clean, though the private bathroom could use a bit more attention. Additionally, breakfast is included in the price, which is a great perk.

    The lack of proper ventilation in the room.

    Great value for money, with basic amenities like air conditioning and breakfast included. The hotel's prime location in the free tram zone makes it convenient to access all sorts of attractions around. Rooms with private bathrooms are spacious with up to three bunk beds even for larger groups, a great cost-saving option.

    All was fine during my stay.

    We had a great stay at the hotel. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, always ready to help us with anything we needed. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and its facilities, including the large and well-equipped kitchen. The location of the hotel was perfect for us as it was close to public transportation and in a great hang out area with plenty of options for food and entertainment.

    Can't fault the hotel in any way.

    Free activities and great location! The hotel had a fantastic games room with pool tables and table tennis - perfect for a bit of downtime. The location couldn't have been better, with everything you could need nearby. Plus, the complimentary breakfast and free shuttle to nearby attractions were a great touch.

    Disappointing facilities and cleanliness. The rooms and kitchen were not well maintained and staff could have been more welcoming.

    Comfy beds, quiet floor. Common room sadly closed. Friendly check-in staff. Rooms resemble WW2 bunkers. Great location near supermarket, Victoria markets, and Flinders Street station. Rooftop area is nice. Met awesome people if you enjoy socializing. 👍

    Convenient location, spacious rooms, reasonable price. Early check-in can be a hassle, but cleanliness is well-maintained. Revamped management addresses previous concerns. Unexpectedly comfortable double bed. a minimalistic and community-oriented hostel.

    the prices were very affordable, making it great value for money. The location was fantastic, as it was close to everything I needed and conveniently situated in the free tram zone. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The basic amenities in my room were sufficient, and I appreciated the attention to detail, such as the charging place for each bed. Additionally, the breakfast included was a nice touch.

    The only minor issue I encountered was that the rooms were a bit cramped, especially the one I stayed in.

    The hostel had a great atmosphere and was perfect for meeting new people. the service personnel were very nice and helpful. the large kitchen and communal area were perfect for hanging out with friends and the rooms were also relatively cheap.

    The WiFi was slow and expensive, which made it difficult to stay connected. the shower facilities were limited to children and there were not enough utensils in the kitchen.

    This hotel is situated conveniently near several bustling markets, making it easy to grab a quick bite or purchase souvenirs. I also loved the breathtaking view from our room, which truly made our stay unforgettable. On top of that, the hotel had great leisure facilities that kept us entertained.

    The noise level in the hotel at night was a bit high.
