Good location and value for money”

Pros: The location is excellent and very convenient for public transport access. Walking to Queen Victoria Market is less than 5 minutes with lots of choices for food. The staff is very friendly, the kitchen is big and cleaned at least twice a day. The big dining room is good for socialising with fellow travellers, the lounge and the rooftop are also good for that purpose. There is a restriction of 14 days maximum, any booking longer than that will need the manager's approval. Cons: The room only has a wall fan and it can be stuffy when you stay inside the room. The shower water temperature fluctuates a bit during the shower, which is not a problem in summer, but it may be a problem in winter. There is only one set of power point/GPO in the room near the table, you cannot charge your devices near your bed or inside the lockers.

It's a bit far away from the CBD but it does the trick. The rooms are clean, location is good, there's tram stop nearby, or a short stroll to the city/market. Facilities were great, the kitchen was functional. The roof top was spacious with great view of the city. The movies on movie nights were great. The only downside is the shower, they were always clean and paddles do built up outside shower so always need to look for a dry one to use. Other than that, it's a great place to chill away from the city but still in the periphery and to meet people around the world who admire the beauty of Austrlaia!

I spent 1week in 3 different hostels but this one i loved the most. Though its far from major tourist spots in the city center, it is still near the free tram zone. I loved how the staff accomodated my requests. They also have coin operated luggage box if you want to leave your stuffs but im not sure how long its allowed as i have used it just for a day.
