Liked: Friendly and helpfull staff, lockers in the dorm, big fridges, good showers upstairs, big tv, security code to enter the hostel at night.

Disliked: Smelly and too stuffed dorm, noise from the dining/tv area in the corridor, no free tea or coffee, not enough plugs in the room. Where are the quiet areas??? You cannot see on the website which dormsize you are booking in. :-(

Liked: For $17 (AUD) a night, and literally right next to both the Central Markets and the Central Bus Station, this was great value for money at a great location. The facilities themselves aren't too impressive, however the communal kitchen and social area were both well kept.

Disliked: Dim lighting in the actual rooms, and the lack of access to the facilities at all hours.

Liked: Small, friendly atmosphere, easy walk to the city, which itself is quite small and easy to get around.

Disliked: This hostel is licensed, which means they charge you corkage for drinking alcohol, which is a bit of a pain. But then there's plenty of bars nearby. There wasn't much storage room in the dorm when it was full. Didn't offer any hostel specific activities, pub crawls etc but there were plenty advertised on the walls.

Liked: Was very close to were I was wanting to go.

Disliked: People in my dorm lacked common courtesy. The light was switched on at 4 in the morning. There needed to be more rules. Also the TV in the next room was up too loud and made it hard to sleep.
