The nightclub will keep you awake till 3am. Which is fine if you're still out!! Otherwise its quite common for people to smoke in the rooms so it smells a lot if you're a non-smoker. Still its one of the cheaper ones, you pay for what you get!

Good location but dirty, run down, way too expensive for what you get. My card key broke three times, couldn't even get into the bathroom and the elevator barely worked so had to go up and down the stairs three times just to get the card to work. The towels we hired looked like they hadn't been washed. For those just wanting something simple in the middle of the city then it's probably a good choice but location is about all it had to offer.

This is an overall alright hostel, the showers were clean, the rooms, small but warm and beds, comfortable, the kitchen, useable, and there was free bread and cereal and coffee/tea in the mornings. The worst part about this hostel are the staff. There was one girl that was really great, but everyone else was terrible. I didn't expect 5 start service but they seemed to get annoyed if you asked them a simple question, e.g. is the lift broken, ive been waiting for 20mins.

me and my girlfriend paid for 7 nights and wished we didn't. We paid for a 12 bed dorm yet it was a dorm with 16 beds we were put in. One of our nights, a drunk Australian whom had blood and sick down his front was put in our room late at night. I was kept awake by his snoring then at 4am he decided to pee on the floor. I told the Staff, he was escorted from the room by the security but was let back in on the basis that apparently "peeing on the floor is not a reason for eviction"

Was the first backpacker with locker at room that I stayed, great! All staff were friendly, bathroom always clean and there are many stores, restaurants and one coles nearby. But I really hated the mattress.. And I think just one plug for 8 people is not enough!

Hostel staff on check-in were a little unusual, loud music and drunken yelling greeted us. There was no noise curfew as far as we could tell, because our party were all woken up at many hours of the morning to girls running up and down the hall screaming, and loud music coming from many rooms around us. We weren't looking for dead silence, we are well traveled and understand how hostels work, it's rare for a hostel with this rating to deliver such a disrespectful experience.

Great location. My room was cleaned daily including mirrors & air-freshner which really made a difference. Downside was only one lift was operating...my room was on ninth floor!

This backpacker is very dirty, the staff seemed to be drunk at our arrival, with the music very loudy. The Kitchen was communicating directly with the hall, and was irty too. Intoxicated men were fallling from couches etc etc... That doesn't explain their rates.
