Good value for money. Almost clean, staff really friendly. Good for a few nights. Position isn't the best, but close to Maccas and Coles. Beds are comfortable and there are lockers. Breakfast included

DO. NOT. STAY. HERE. Unhelpful staff and an unfriendly/rude manager. Rooms look unkept and falling apart and sheets look like they're 20 years old (they're almost worn through..), not to mention the disgusting pillows covered with stains, had to cover them with a t-shirt. Kitchen a complete mess (and this is by student standards!). Rooms were also freezing during the... More

Very dirty place, we found cockroaches in the kitchen. The free breakfast is just a joke... The bed sheets didn't look really clean. The receptionists are not really pleasant and helpful. You have to pay extra for the Internet. Really expensive for what it is. AVOID !!!!!

This place shocked us seriously!!! We stayed in 4 mixed dorm and we all got BED BUGS! Everything was so dirty and there was party 24/7. Hostel manager Markus was very arrogant person. You should stay far away from this place.
