Transit Backpackers Reviews

Great staff. Kitchen crowded in summer rush. Facilities good except showers go hot and cold with other users. Some beds squeaky

Though I stayed for one night only, it was good. I liked it. If I go to Hobart again, I prefer to stay there.

After staying in a lot of hostels in many different countries overseas, I hope this is not the standard of all hostels at home in Australia. It felt like the bare minimum to meet regulations was being done to qualify as a hostel - rooms were really hot and there wasn't even a fan, the window opened onto a dumpster, there was no soap in the bathrooms, the kitchens were filthy, and I couldn't get the one hour of free wifi to work on either my phone or computer. I'd try my luck elsewhere next time.

Only complaint was the showers were pretty awful and would scald or freeze you without notice. Really good location and cheaper than most others! Comfy beds and a nice big loungeroom. Really friendly, helpful staff!

Had a fantastic time! Great place to stay!

Booked just before Falls Festival and had illegal sleepers on the floor, 3 of them. Really need to work on security as anyone can wonder in and no lockers. everything else is pretty good. I would stay again, but never leave valuables around.

Overall this is a good hostel with helpful and friendly staff. Very clean throughout. Good kitchen and communal area with comfortable atmosphere. Only negative points are: You have to pay an additional fee for a locker, no soap or hand drier/towels in toilets and worst of all the showers – only a weak trickle that constantly changed from dangerously hot to freezing cold for the duration of the shower. This is the only thing that would stop us from staying here again.

I had a 12 bed dorm room to myself. Which was kinda cool. I believe September was low season. It was quiet which was good cause I had to be up before 7 for a tour the next day.
