4/10 Fair

To start with, I didn’t get my access code to the front door for which I had to stay outside and talk over for 20 minutes because the lady In reception was not able to locate my booking. After I got in all the lower beds of my room were taken so I had to take one of the top beds where there was no access to power outlet. I asked if any extension cable was available but there was none.

I would stay here again because the price was unbeatable includes a basic breakfast or cereal or toast tea/coffee AND its got to be the easiest hostel to get to from the airport!!! The hostel is less then 5 minutes walk from the airport shuttle bus - literally walked in a straight line and i was there. So easy to find. They had an option for after hours checkin too. Only dislike was there is no elevator, i had to carry 30 kgs up 3 flights of stairs late at night.

I like the location of the property close to the station. When it comes to stay, it was difficult to sleep at night due to side railings of top bed being loose.

10/10 Exceptional

The door lock was high quality and convenient. The location was perfect as it is at CBD area has the great things to offer. The things that i notice is the pillow is thin and filthy same way goes to the quilt has stain , door of main toilet at floor 2 making a loud sound when somebody going out and in as the doorstopper doesn't works. well, no lift . However, it still recommendable. keep it up guys the excellent service you have now…

6/10 Good

The other travelers were considerate so there were no noise problems, things were tidy. Continental breakfast was a bit of an exaggeration, was actually a choice of rice bubbles or corn flakes and then a choice of 3 types of bread and either jam or peanut butter and of course tea and coffee. At the end of the day it was my first experience at a backpackers, the cost was great, facilities good, I slept well, staff were lovely so I was happy.
