This stay was not horriable out of all my hostels.com.And I have been hostels.com for a while. I only stayed their 8 days.Where I was forced to buy 10 days.I told the front desk I was staying that long.They told me that they would reimburse me for the 2 days back on my card.WTF! They didn't even acknowledge me.Yet I stayed their 8 days.And forceing you to buy 10 days where you only stayed 8 days, was crazy.I would like them reimbursed me for the 2 days that I didn't stay their!

If you enjoy being a ninja and jumping into corners where you have to store your bags if your on the top bunk.. If you enjoy only having 1 set of plugs in the middle room that work(so near impossible to get a plug to charge your items) and no locks on the doors so people walked in and out all day and all night..even ones that were not in that room.. So basically if you want to chance your items being stolen, this could be the perfect place for you. Oh work assistance...None whatsoever!! Rebecca, from England ~ 5th Oct 2011

Overall, a good experience because the staff and the other travellers were lovely. Positives: Nice area, convenient bus to Town Hall, free internet and calls to Australian landlines. Negatives: Very unclean. Bare light bulbs and paint peeling walls make it unwelcoming. The bathroom is cleaned each day, but not properly. No sanitary bins in the toilets for girls. In my mixed dorm, the bathroom door did not fully provide privacy.The electricity was down in half the Hostel for days. Claire, from England ~ 9th Sep 2011
