Very affordable, clean, and safe! I'm on the plus size so I was worried about the sturdiness of the bunk beds, but that wasn't a problem at all! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay here again!

Very clean and quiet. The pods were great and actually very spacious, they also blocked light well. Check in and out we're quick and easy and I really appreciated being able to store my luggage before check in time.

No sleep
The bed and room temperature was comfortable however the door opening and closing the entire night kept me up and I got very little sleep.
Owners should invest in soft close door and stop the locks from making such a loud sound every time people leave and enter the rooms.

Perfect stay in this hostel! Clean rooms and bathrooms. Beds are very comfy and the largest I had in Australia. This hostel is one of the best I stayed in Australia and I highly recommend!
