My first two nights at the Youth Shack was in a room where neither the air conditioner nor the fan worked. The room was next to the main ventilation vent outside so it was very noisy. If you go there make sure that you get a room in the 4 or 5 hundred series as they are in another much... more

Myself and my sister stayed in youthshack on mitchell street after a 5 day camping trip. On arrival they had no record of our booking, luckily we had travel vouchers to prove we were booked in there.
