Everything is very well thought out and planned and if I had a hotel this is exactly how I would Invision it.

Rooms were modern and clean, there is plenty of 'chilling' and fun space with the cinema and rooftop. Kitchen is huge, clean and we'll equipped! 10/10

One of the showers I used (3rd floor) was very hairy (literally) and had built-up dirt in the corners from not being cleaned properly long-term.

....Yuk! With the 2 showers I used on 2 nights there was nowhere to put my clothes & towel except the floor & a tiny double hook behind the door which didn't hold anywhere near enough! Lucky for me I could use a shower at a friend's house for my 3rd night! The door for a toilet cubicle on the 2nd floor would not close completely, so could not be locked! The wash-hand basin for this cubicle was obviously not cleaned on the 2nd day of my stay as it was still soiled on the 3rd day with the same vomit that was there on the 2nd day! Must have daily cleaning, no excuses. In my bedroom there was dirt build-up behind the door. It would be nice to have a chair in the bedroom for the people who have top bunks. Thank you

Great hostel if you're on a budget! Its close to everything you may need. The staff is helpful and friendly if you need something.

The rooms were standard and relatively clean. My only cons would have to be the hostel doesn't offer many things to do or placesbto hang out within it and there's no free wifi which i guess isn't such a big deal.

Sydney Central YHA

8.1 Excellent

Based on 576 reviews

The location is right near Central Station: this makes it very convenient although it is a slightly seedy area.

The room was very clean and spacious enough for two. The bed was comfortable and it was very handy having the little restaurant downstairs. We have stayed there 3 times, and find it excellent. (We are a couple in their 60's).

Located on in Northbridge which is 10 minutes walk from Perth City. I took a look at all the rooms available 4 , 6 and 16 share dorm rooms (the room is huge including showers and couches).

4 share would be my choice next time. Open plan dining and kitchen allow for good atmosphere while preparing dinner

the hostel is great, the staff funny and helpful, everything is clean. stayed here some years ago, and it's still perfect.

you are directly on the beach just one idea. since there is 10 cent on all bottles in NSW they should collect it and use the money for a BBQ or so.

Flashpackers Hervey Bay Hostel

8.2 Excellent

Based on 48 reviews

This hostel was great. It had a real home from home feel. The kitchen facilities were the best I have encountered in Australia.

The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a pool, cinema room, comfy lounge, washing lines to hang laundry, nice showers. They run themed evenings and allow BYO drinks. There is a regular free shuttle to and from the greyhound stop/ large supermarket. The only complaint I have is that the room was stiflingly hot. There was no air con and just a small free standing fan that did very little to cool the room. Needless to say sleeping was a very hot and sticky experience. Nevertheless I would highly recommend this place to the traveller who is looking for a nice home from home hostel and not a party hostel.

Apollo Bay Eco YHA

8.2 Excellent

Based on 56 reviews

Location is good with the f&b/shops just a street away; our morning was greeted by birds chirping, feels very close to nature.

The communal areas (kitchen, lounges) are set up very comfortably and highly utilized. The shared toilet is clean and served all needs. The bedsheets colour (shades of brown and blue) kinda made the room looked gloomy when we first stepped in... Else, everything was okay for a stopover night during our GOR drive. This was our first experience staying in a hostel during travel... an interesting exposure. PS: We checked out on Saturday morning (24 Dec 2016); there was a setup of local market (in tents) at the grass patch near the shops, not that many vendors but still has an interesting mix of local produce/artworks/accessories. It's a nice bonus for our stay at Apollo Bay.
