    Can't think of any cons.

    Clean, comfortable and great facilities. The owner is very organised, and accommodating as well. The building is beautiful and right opposite the ocean.

    Rooms not sound proof, so very noisy.

    Great location, close to shops and beach. Everything worked well, showers and toilets were clean. Very helpful, professional and friendly staff.

    Check-in time is a bit late, couldn't use the kitchen facilities until 7:30 am.

    The showers were exceptional, the private room has a balcony to enjoy. The rooms were quiet. Would definitely stay here again

    Weak light in the room, not sure if shared bathroom is only one per each sex, wondering if that would be enough when hostel is fully booked. An advice - don’t use double power outlets. As hostel is for foreigners, using often adapters, it may not be possible to put two adapters next to each other at the same time when it is a double power outlet

    Kind and helpful staff, quiet, nice and equipped kitchen, available car park

    Nothing - all good!

    Cannot praise our host Pippa (owner) and Ramona enough. Went way beyond what we could expect in helping us after our plans had been derailed by unforeseen circumstances (an emu actually). Apart from offering assistance and somewhere to sleep, the genuine friendliness with which we were treated was very much appreciated. The establishment itself, although technically a backpackers' accommodation, was absolutely fabulous leaving many hotels we've stayed at to shame. From the elegant old building lovingly refurbished to the simple but caringly appointed rooms. We subsequently stayed another 2 nights in different rooms, all of which provided lovely comfy beds and the necessary mod cons. The shared bathrooms were scrupulously clean, the lounges welcoming and the outdoor area was a pleasant little spot for some morning sun albeit the car parking area. Location could not be more central (main street) yet security was well managed and there was no noise disturbance (inside or outside) at night. We indulged in delicious breakfasts at Fleurs (2 doors down) and it was an easy little walk to the foreshore or shopping. It's a credit to everyone involved that such an impressive building is being faithfully preserved for us to enjoy. If you'd like to experience a slice of heritage; some old-world charm; and don't mind the odd squeaky floorboard - make this gem your next stop when visiting Geraldton.
