In a pinch, yes I would stay there, but with a choice no! The staff never seemed as if they wanted to be there and we not at all helpful when asked questions. Globe bar downstairs is fun, but very noisy if you need to get a nights sleep. Given how widespread Base hostels are throughout Australia and New Zealand, you would think they could provide free wifi, if only for a certain amount of time per day.

Check-in and check-out was an total cluster-f*ck. Our room was being used by a staff member when we tried to check in, screwed up room-type and argued that I had booked a double when I hadn\'t. Room was full of ants. The elevators were terrible as well stopping on the wrong floor all the time. Staff also didn\'t know much about anything outside the hostel.Check-in and check-out was an total cluster-f*ck.

Place was in a great loaction. Staff was great except for one girl who was very very SLOW! We stayed in a double bed room which had no window with paper thin walls. So to sum up great location, probably great party hostel but for a couple there's better places out there,Place was in a great loaction. Staff was great except for one girl who was very very SLOW!
