I booked in for a night and two weeks later I'm still here!!! Everyone is really friendly, even though there are a lot of long termers, nights out organised daily and within walking distance of good clubs, the opera house and bridge. Would definately recommend, but ask for a quiet room if you like your sleep!!!

- You guys created opportunities for travellers to meet one another with various activities and maintaining an open and friendly atmosphere. - I never had to wait for a restroom but that may be because the hostel was not very full while I was there. - I liked the kitchen set up - food in bags, lockers available, clean up after yourself. - activities - I could not go to any but they seemed fun and they made the entire hostel more social, I felt like I could start a conversation with anyone. - staff...SOOOOO friendly and helpful. they create the awesome hostel culture.
