  • Great located Hostel with great staff. The security is excellent but after spending 3 weeks in rural Australia where you can leave your wallet on the table over night the automatic locking room doors, the always locked door between the entrance and the staircase and the "exchange key for potts and pans" annoyed me a bit.....but it keeped the place safe and the pans clean.

  • My only problem reaaly was the CARPET... I know, here in OZ there are carpets everywhere, but they always just STINK so much... And the one in our dorm ha blood stains (or similar..) on it. Otherwise everything was GREAT!!!!!

  • It said on here that they had parking, which they didn't. We had a very hard time finding a spot for our car and then we had to move it every 4 hours. The "free wifi" was only an hour as well. However, the room was nice with an own fridge and an own TV, so the hostel itself was actually really nice.

  • This is a very clean and nice backpackers'. Close to King's Cross, it is however in a peacefull street. Staff is nice and rooms are cleaned very regularly. One deception point, the wifi access had to be free, but only first hour is actually free...
