Central City Backpackers Reviews

I cannot really make any comment , i have been only two nights, we arrived late around 10 pm , the office sent us a door code and an envelope with the keys, then the next day we had a tour to Port Arthur, then i pay the remaning amount of money then we left the very next morning, the staff seems to be nice, but the only negatif part was the cost of the room, for just 2 single beds, and a wardrobe sharing shower and toilet, I find the price a bit to high .

Pretty good. The building is old but the hostel is cheap which compensates for that. Common room area is large and fairly nice. If you're going to arrive late then remember to email them beforehand if you need linen or a towel.

Pretty decent hostel in the middle of town. Very well located. It's a little hard to find the entrance at the weekend though. The actual entrance is down the side alley by the bank. The beds are a bit weak though. I was on the top bunk and the person on the bottom moved a lot. The frame was a bit weak, so it rocked my bed a lot. This kept me up a bit. That was probably the only down side to this hostel.

WiFi didn't worked during the night. Blocking youtube, ok... but why other bad sites aren't blocked too?

Bathrooms were not clean and the internet would not work.

nice place to stay, cant get any more central that this! kitchen was great, bathrooms good too. rooms were nice if a little basic. only faults were the internet not being in the rooms, only in the common area and it kept dropping for a long time too. could also use a bit of work to renovate as its a little old. had a good stay though no major criticisms!

Staff were really helpful and friendly, location is perfect but the place itself could certainly do with some TLC! We were only there for one night and hardly spent any time in the room so it was fine, I couldn't stay there for an extended period though.

central location, the room was spacious, but the common area was not that clean.. still worth the money spent.. staff was really nice..

The 12 mixed room was horrible but I stayed another night later and the girls bedroom was nice and made it the experience better. Bathrooms were really gross. The carpet seemed sketchy

Bathroom facilities and room were extremely poor. Defenitely to expensive for what we got.

The staff were great when I had to move rooms due to a somewhat weird and aggressive room mate, but there could have been more done to organise hostel events between guests staying there each night. The atmosphere was a little lacking but brilliant location! The hostel can certainly do with some renovations, while the beds are fine and brand new it's common areas, bathrooms and carpets that need to be replaced and the hostel could benefit from switching to swipe keys...

We really enjoyed our stay at Central City Backpackers.

I stayed here with my girlfriend while travelling Tasmania. It is a very old hostel and our room was tiny with barely enough room for our bags. Hostel is located on the 2nd floor of a building and going up and down the stairs with our luggage was challenging. Big common room with loads of seating and quite places to skype. Kitchen was big with loads of storage space for food. I have stayed in The Pickled Frog and Hobart Hostel on a previous visit to Hobart and they are of a similar standard

NIce Hostel. A little bit old but central in Hobart and you have free Wifi :-)

Had some water problems, ie ran out the first day. Shower a bit unkept, ceiling falling in one of bathroom Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Good postions, 5 mins walk to water, and in the midst of shopping centre

Free wifi a definite bonus, even if signal a bit patchy. The place could do with a spruce up but was perfectly adequate.

The bathrooms were in a terrible shape the taps in the showers were leaking, the sink in the basin was blocked. There's paint peeling all through the hostel, mainly in the bathrooms. I didn't find the staff friendly at all and not helpful.

the dorms can be better...nothing particular...seems like a hospital. Not dirty, but not nery clean, the staff in the kitchen and internet doesn't work very good... The good thing is that is big...you have to do better because you have good potential.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff in assisting their customers

Kitchen and bathroom dirty and broken... Old fashionned
