Marian, Canada

The staff were friendly and the social activities on offer were more than other hostels have

Tina, Australia

The only positive parts were the people, the location, and the overall cleanliness.

Kerry, United States of America

Good location, very central. The rooms are comfortable and the washroom was very clean.

Andrea, Australia

Lots of space and places to chill out, its good to be able to find a corner and just find some peace sometimes outside of your room. This place has a big dining area, large tv room, lots of sofas and a big rooftop. I didnt find it intimidating like a lot of places can be, there is always a place to go to be alone if you need to be. The location is just perfect aswell right smack bang in the middle of it all.

Sophie, United Kingdom

Close to the railway station & could walk to the city centre & not far from South Bank. The rooms, beds & linen was good.

Excellent location, very near Flinder's Station and trams are easily accessible.

It was super noisy. I heard someone recording a conversation they were having in the hall then played it when they left. Creepy. I used ear plugs that helped.

“Excellent location and highly recommended if you can sleep through the noise.”

- • Solo traveler

- • Stayed 1 night

Sadly the walls are paper thin and you hear every little squeak from the room around you. Each floor is essentially an open space that's had office walls put up so you can hear every conversation from the other rooms in all directions. Also this place is PERMANENTLY CLOSING DOWN on 31 May. Farewell Greenhouse Backpackers.
Staff very friendly, free breakfast (although simple - only corn flakes, bread and jam), excellent location in the CBD.

We stayed in a private room that was really dirty, layers and layers of dust and dirt in the corners and under the bed. Both my partner and I got itchy spots everywhere on our skin after sleeping in the bed. Please change the mattress of room 403!!! (Also the room didn’t have a window so not ideal for claustrophobic)
Free breakfast (really simple but nice) also towels and mini soap are provided for free

“Overall stay was great other than the loud and noisy neighbours that we had next door.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
Everything was great other than the loud neighbours I had for two nights in a row..really inconsiderate people still talking and laughing loudly until the middle of the night. I could barely get any sleep at all until they fell asleep. Maybe reconsider if you don't sleep well with loud noises.
Location was great, I liked that they provided lots of thick and comfy blankets as well. We also had towels and bath soap provided which was great. It was good that they had 24-hour check-in/out too.

“Good value for money with a short and easy stay”
- • Solo traveler
- • Bed in Female Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights

The bunk bed is very noisy, any movement on the bed can potentially wake others up. There's no window and clock in the room, it's easy to get confused with day and night time especially in a room that always have someone sleeping
Reception is available 24hours for any questions. Easy and simple with check in and check out, the bedroom area are kept quiet and secured.
