Great balcony area, clean place, good staff. Not as boring as I thought it would be with plenty of rooftop BBQ's and beers. Showers are a bit rubbish, hot then cold then hot and could be cleaner but the dorms are good: big and clean with large lockers.

It's like McDonalds, the are everywere, you know what you get, but there is no feeling and there is no service.

Great property, centrally located, close to supermarkets and bike hire a real advantage. Cleanliness of bathrooms and facility maintenance needs immediate attention, Gents bathrooms look as if not deepcleaned in several years, in-room lockers with broken doors. Shower stalls are also very small, water pressure in showers is inconsistent. Broad range of tourist info available in lobby, wireless internet access a little flakey and staff not trained in support/use.

Standard YHA, clean, good beds and security lockers but little character or life.

Your average YHA hostel i guess, there was nothing wrong with the place, i just lacked a bit of a soul. But so does canberra as a whole.

Clean, centrally located hostel. Probably the best option for Canberra but then again you're not really spoiled for choice are you!

Did the little things really well - great kitchen, great common areas, (barbie area looked great but wasn't the weather) and LOVED individual lights for the beds.

Typical YHA hostel with a buisness feel. Facilities are excelllent but staff and fun are lacking character. Interesting slection of guests including elderly on medication, families, and people that talk to themselves.
