Great location, city central walking distance to markets and all the shops. Staff are very friendly and helpful to organise tours/car. Only downside is that our room was very noisy on the first 2 nights fronting Collins St, with the cleaning truck at 5am and drunks outside. There are no lifts, so be prepared to hoist your luggage up 2 sets of stairs. Xing, from Australia ~ 24th Nov 2009

This hostel has a really nice atmosphere. It is very centrally located and almost all main attractions are within walking distance. The bathroom/kitchen was very clean. There are no lockers in the room but before/after check in it is possible to use the safe storage area next to the reception. At nighttime you get a code to come into the hostel. I felt all in all safe here. The staff are very friendly and interested to help you what`s to do in Hobart/Tasmania. I enjoyed my 2 day`s here.
Thanks you so much for writing a clearly thought out review. We use these for improving our hostel and our services, and it is really nice having someone write comments like yours. Thanks a million. Two million!

Right next to a noisy construction site, with scafolds and workmen right out our bedroom window, this place was a massive disappointment. Our bedding was handed to us at reception after if had been sitting on the floor. Our double-bed room was so rudimentary it definately wasn't worth the $70 we paid for it - when we walked into the room, we felt like we were in a rundown part of shady eastern-europe, rather than a civilised country. We were so appalled at the hostel that we fortfitted our first
The workmen were disappoiting for us too, however they have now finished. We happily GAVE YOU A REFUND which you failed to mention in your review. Your linen was not on the floor. I believe a hotel would be more suited to you anyway, and I suggest you book them in future wherever you go. We hope you were able to enjoy Tasmania.

nice staff, clean place, empty as can be. Hobart in the winter is as dead as Dillinger.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and giving us a good review. Yes, Hobart (Tassie) is pretty quiet in winter! It's kinda crazy because it's beautiful in winter, and there is still heaps to do, but there you go - dead as Dillinger

Thanks for leaving nice comments and rating us highly. The computers are back from being serviced. Sorry for the inconvenience, and glad we were able to help.

This hostel is close to the main places in Hobart. The staff is very friendly.I had a very nice stay. Caroline, from France ~ 21st Jun 2009

This hostel is located very conveniently in the middle of Hobart, unfortunately the next bigger supermarket is a bit far away. Staff is very friendly and the hostel itself + kitchen is very clean. I enjoyed my stay!
HIya, Thanks for your great comments about staff & kitchen, and the high ratings. Yes, the big Woolies is about a 15 min walk, and the 2 close ones a bit pricey. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay, and hope to see you again down south. Pete

could have had more of a lounge / hang out area that wasn't directly in front of the TV Eliza, from USA ~ 4th Feb 2009

Found only 2 toilets and 2 showers for all the many boys. Amenities and kitchen not really clean. For me too big hostel
Our apologies for not making it more clear that there are 4 bathrooms per floor (2 male, 2 female) when you checked in. We actually have a very good shower/loo ratio per customer. We have addressesd the cleanliness by commencing cleaning of bathrooms/kithcn/lounge 3 times per day. We are Tasies biggest hostel, but we cant do much about that! Thanks very much for taking the time to write about our hostel. We very much appreciate it.
