Liked: location

Disliked: The kitchen area and the adjoining lounge were filthy as hell. There was dirt everywhere. I've travelled a lot and stayed in many hostels around the globe but that hostel was really dirty. There was staff to clean everything up but they rather enjoyed a nice smoke outside. You can get better value on the island if you look around...

Liked: The location is great within Kingscote, we had a private room which we could lock when we left to go sightseeing for the day. There is a fire place that is frequently stocked up that heats the lounge which is great to come back to during our stay in winter, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
