This place was awesome!! we stayed xmas eve and there was heaps of partying to be had, the bar is great, the staff were awesome party animals and everyone we met was great! We only wish we could have stayed a bit longer and taken advantage of the free brekkie, and the jumping off the roof. We'll be back for sure :)

The big lockers in the rooms, comfy beds, free breakfast, nice bathrooms with large shower area + many toilets (although only nice when clean - other backpackers left it in a filthy state when we arrived, drinks abandoned on the side, hair in sink, toilets blocked, make-up everywhere. It happened again the next night...Not the most pleasant welcome, but that's not the hostels fault, it's the guests, but perhaps they could check the toilets on a more regular basis). Reception staff need training on greeting people, they seemed more interested in their own conversations, making us wait for a while before even acknowleding us!!!

It's the best Backpackers a stayed until now. Everything you need is there, even an oven and a dishwasher in the kitchen. The luggage fits easily in the lockers, there is enougth room in the doorms. Checkout is at a convinient time (11am) and there are no stupid rules like no alcohol in the kitchen/dining room.

Free breakfast, tea and coffee, films on in the bar...felt relatively safe for lone female traveller. Not ideal that the dorms are mixed, but when I got lumbered with three drunken male footy tour roommates on my last night the hostel moved me to an empty room free of charge, even after I said I would pay. They didn't have to do that so for that alone I love them. Good hostel to stay in.
