Liked: I liked my bed and the bed linen, very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was good and the Base's decor is really cool!
Disliked: I miss more windows! I think the structure of the building needs more air vents. I dislike the showers, they are old.

Liked: The staff were really friendly which I have not always found at other Base hostels especially in Australia! I booked accomodation and transport for time in Fiji using the travel desk and the girls were both very helpful and had a good discount! The atmosphere is good and there are good communal areas. They also offer good drinks deals in the bar such as 241!
Disliked: Sometimes there were not enough spaces in the kitchen and the rooms can be a bit tight!

Liked: single bathrooms and toilets all over a floor - felt like on-suit and liked provision of fresh shower-mats
Disliked: location on the main road is good, but with it comes the noise from outside and the bar, if the room is next to the street/above the bar

Liked: Great location, close to Fergburgers ;) Good if you like to party.
Disliked: A bit noisy everyday of the week, which can be a little disturbing if you need to get up early. And the rooms isn't the cleanest...but it's ok.

Liked: The internet area was nice, there were many computers and they were also quite cheap. The beds were nice and hostel's location was good.
Disliked: The hostel wasn't so clean and the bar's music was too noisy. Tv lounge was small and the atmosphere itself was quite poor. Staff was also busy and sometimes have to wait long time to get their attention, but they were nice still.

Liked: Good location, free breakfast, helpful staff
Disliked: Way too many people packed into this place. Rooms and hallways are narrow and dingy. The shower is tiny with a timer that turns it off after a few seconds - really awkward to wash your hair.
