I had clothes stolen out my bag. The staff did nothing to help. hostel is over priced and they treat you like children. No drinking except on the one night a week that they specify and you have to buy a ticket from them for that night. Money chasers with no respect for their travellers

I guess I didn't have any fun because I only stayed for one night and didn't chill out there.

cutlery, pots and pans required a deposit, key deposit $30! laundry also very expensive, was like a prison

Hostel was ok but not very social. It would have been better had the hostel organised an event at least once a week.

A cross between a prison and university halls of residence. Bathrooms aren't very well kept. Good location for Oz Experience tour pick ups.

Good place centrally located. Good TV room with lots of movies. No lounge or soft seating, but a few different seating areas here and there.

our room smells digusting and the bathroom is messi. staff is very nice but hostel has got the atmosphere of a dungeon. having to rent kitchen equipment sucks but maybe it would look even worse if things were in the kitchen provided. pool is nice and enough computers with fast internet, though.

I was a bit disturbed at the smell of the rooms. We tried to air it out as best as possible, but the stink of feet was a bit overwhelming. But then again, you get that pretty much anywhere. All-in-all pretty good accomodation. I might try somewhere different next time.
