- Avg. price/night: $77.64Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very Good - What previous guests thought, 1,418 reviewsRooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly. Great location close to tram lines in and around the city. The hostel hosts lots of social activities which are a great way of meeting people.Guest review byKimranTravelers with friends
- Avg. price/night: $55.46Scored out of 10, guest rating 6.5Pleasant - What previous guests thought, 364 reviewsI liked that I got to have my own space, even if it was just a room, it my room for a night. I've paid more for a backpackers hostel which didn't have a smokers area, had to share with 3 other blokes and dormitory style setting. Here you get a literal house with your own safe and private (and not small either) room.Guest review byPitchfordSolo traveler
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 5.0Fair - What previous guests thought, 198 reviewsIt's a cheap hostel in a great location Comfortable bed and good showerGuest review byStephenTravelers with friends
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.1Good - What previous guests thought, 526 reviewsLocation was good. Close to tram line. Lots of cafes near by. I only had one interaction with staff on check in and she was friendly. There was aircon and a fan in the room which helped with comfort levels on the really hot night I was there. Size of the room was good. Seems like quite a good place for backpackers and people wanting to meet new people as there are ample spaces to interact with others (at the pool table, the lounge area, the tables scattered around the hostel).Guest review byKristina ElizaSolo traveler
