We pride ourselves on excellent service and value - and we are very sorry you feel the way you do! Did you speak to one of our staff about your issues with the hostel - we would have been happy to offer you something as an apology if you were unhappy! We are very sorry that firm mattresses are not your preference - many people like our mattresses, and they will soften up a little with time! Kind Regards, Our House.

We pride ourselves on our staff having brilliant knowledge regarding the workings of Our House. We are sorry you feel as though we were less than knowledgeable, however we believe this comment is unhelpful to your fellow travellers, and that the ratings you have given us are not a true reflection of Our House. We encourage you to contact us at any time to resolve any issues you had during your stay. Regards, Our House.

This is a very "clicky" hostel. There are a lot of cold, boring people who are not friendly. This was by far the weirdest atmosphere of any hostel I've stayed at and I've been all around Australia. Its clean and the staff are great and very helpful. The problem lies with this hostels occupants. It could have just been chance that a lot of Debbie downers we're there when I was there. In the end I did meet some cool people but three fourths of the people there sucked.

We are sorry you felt as though Our House lacked something in the social department - and we are working on improving this! You are absolutely correct in saying that you might have been unlucky - sometimes hostels and tours are like that! We have taken note of your feedback and we are working hard to set up a few weekly events in the bar. Thank you for your honest and helpful feedback. Kind Regards, Our House!
