Liked: My room mates are pretty friendly. Location is quite accessible from anywhere. This hostel would be a really good option for people who crave for craziness, party goers and at the same time need no privacy.

Disliked: 1. The most dirty backpacker hostel I've ever been. Come on... who wants to see other people's pubic hair in the bathroom?? Euwww.. 2. No privacy at all. I know shared bedroom won't provide you any privacy, but here strangers easily came in to the room, even guys (I was in the female dorm).

Liked: Great location

Disliked: It wasn't cleaned often enough, too little showers for the whole hostel, which also aren't clean, one of the showers did not have any mirror and shelf to put your things while bathing. Hostel shouldn't say they provide breakfast - it's just a tea and coffee. Also no air conditioning/ cooler in the room.

Liked: Great hostel! It's a small hostel and the rooms are not too big, but good opportunity to meet other people. They organize a lot, every night they bring you for free with a bus to a place or party with cheap drinks and they provide a free breakfast.

Disliked: Small rooms, but ok.

Liked: I liked the character of the building and the courtyard at the rear.

Disliked: I was in the top room and it was so hot - only 1 fan for 6 people. If no a/c then should definitely invest in some more fans for hot days.

Liked: Close to the city and the friendly staff were very helpful and had some great discounts for tours. I highly reccommend the trip to the Blue Mountains. There were some very good work opportunities available too.

Disliked: The kitchen was not always kept clean as people didn't tidy up. Toilet roll had usually run out!
