There are probably no pros to the hostel except for two things: -Large beds. -Good location. This is a horrible hostel and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The wifi was terrible and never really worked. The staff treated us like the lice that resided in our bedrooms 24/7 and there's a deposit fee of 20$ for cutlery used at... More

I stayed in this hostel for 5 nights. Too bad you have to pay upfront, otherwise I would have left in the middle of my first night there. They promised us internet, but it didn't work the whole time and the manager didn't care. The rooms are small and smell very bad. The beds smelled awfull too. And every morning... More

This is the WORST hostel I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. POS Shared sense of camaraderie in poverty seems to lend itself well to a nightly social scene. Free breakfast, not bad. Corn flakes, coffee, toast, 2 slices cheese, 1 egg. Does the job. Close to Kings X, though whether that's a good thing? You could say it's... More

I stayed one night in this hostel & experienced things that I haven't seen in a whole year of backpacking in Australia. The price for one night, 18$, was fine, that's why I chose it & I really didn't expected anything, due to the fact that I just needed a place to crash. Sharing and having almost no privacy is...

First off this is a hostel. Hostels do not mean you will be getting something luxurious. Its meant to be somewhere cheap to sleep. I've stayed in many hostels and this is probably the worst. I stayed here for a one week and had several issues which I brought up with management and they showed little care about my concerns.... More

I stayed at Chili Blue on 2 occasions, Christmas and new year 2011/12 and July 2012, and I haven't got a bad word to say about it. I met some awesome people there, and the manager, Mo, is friendly and helpful. This hostel may not be the cleanest or most luxurious but there are some little things that just make... More

This is the absolute worst hostel I have ever stayed in. Travelling in a three, we only managed one night before checking out. Disgusting smell in our tiny, dirty, prison-like room. No windows and in one day saw 2 cockroaches in our room. Had to go through communal shower to get to our room, making it very hot. Unfriendly staff... More

If you are looking for a party hostel, this is the place to be. The kitchen may be a dirty place but after a while you don't care anymore because the atmosphere is really good! Everybody is partying together at the yard (playing goon pong, listening to music, meting new friend) and afterwards we went out with the whole group.... More

This hostel was a complete nightmare. The member of staff on reception was rude, the rooms were disgusting with the most uncomfortable beds, the kitchen was beyond a joke - I don't know how we managed to cook a meal in there. One morning I went for a shower to find broken glass on the floor and fag buts in... More
