    “If you feel cold at nights, wear your jackets, they don’t have heaters or blankets available. And inform you this is Australia. How rude it’s. still can’t get over what he said. Almost ruined my impre”

    We arrived very early in the morning and with 24hrs front reception, we were able to get a shower and put stuff in the storage room, that’s good and thanks to staff Anthony was really kind and helpful. When it comes to the staff with beanie, not so friendly and helpful. It was cold at night, and only one power outlet in the room, so we asked for a power board and a heater or anything, they advised me to put on my jacket and sleep since this is Australia? I just need to suck it up? This is extremely rude. And same thing to the front reception, an older man, he said the similar things, say nos with heater and power board without looking, and waved his shoulder, and a day after , seeing him with a fan heater at the reception desk. (Funnily story is when I asked him the second time, with another guy probably running the place present, he opened the cabinet pretending doing the search before saying no to me when I asked for the power board). Good thing is the guy came to the courtyard and handed me one workable power board the second day and at the third time I asked. This place is budget friendly, so you will share the room with backpackers and working holiday makers, and FIFOs. The security is okay, with cameras installed. Kitchen area is good, with staff cleaning, and didn’t see much of oily plates.

    “🎮 Welcome to Hostel Windows 95: Where the Past Refuses to Die”

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live inside a time capsule from 1997 — congratulations, your time machine has landed. This place is so outdated, I half expected Clippy from Microsoft Word to pop up and ask if I needed help checking in. Let’s start with the Wi-Fi, or should I say, mythical internet waves that only exist in the courtyard. Want to check your email from your room? Good luck. The signal strength is weaker than my will to stay here after the first night. Streaming? Hah. Even a text message takes longer to send than a fax machine in a thunderstorm. Now the rooms — imagine a prison cell, but with worse lighting and thinner walls. The beds are clearly from the Y2K era, complete with mystery stains and that classic “spring in the back” feature no one asked for. The showers and taps are either possessed or broken. You get hot water when you want cold, and no water when you actually need it. Magic! Let’s talk about security — or the utter lack of it. After 11 PM, it turns into a free-for-all nightclub for random drunks who don’t even stay at the hostel. I saw a guy brushing his teeth in the communal sink who looked like he wandered in from a pub crawl… three suburbs away. Oh, and the key system. In 2025, this hostel still proudly hands you a physical key like it’s your grandma’s garage. Want to feel scammed? They charge $40 deposit for a key that looks like it came from a cereal box. Pretty sure I’ve had more high-tech entry systems in public bathrooms. Now, in the interest of fairness: the staff are lovely and the location is okay. But unless you’re filming a gritty 90s indie film or intentionally trying to relive the past, I’d recommend booking literally anywhere else. Final verdict: ✨ Nostalgia – 10/10 🛏️ Comfort – 2/10 📶 Wi-Fi – 0.0001/10 🚷 Safety – what's that? 💸 Value for money – LOL

    “Location is good”

    The location is great, close to muslim friendly food, tourist attractions, and supermarkets. There’s an elevator, the toilet is clean, and luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out. Drinks like mineral water can be purchased, and it’s near the free CAT bus. The downside is that the kitchen is quite dirty, and the room is very basic with no table or water heater. It can also be quite noisy at night.

    “Average”

    The hostel offers a central location and the staff were friendly and approachable, which are definite positives. However, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The facilities are dated and in need of refurbishment. Rooms are small, with basic furnishings and mattresses that are not especially comfortable. Cleanliness was inconsistent, and some areas could benefit from more regular attention. Another point worth mentioning is the atmosphere: while some may enjoy the social side, the constant presence of heavy drinkers and casual marijuana smokers created a disruptive environment that made it difficult to relax or get proper rest. Security arrangements also felt minimal, with easy access for non-guests. With some investment in maintenance, better management of the social environment, and improved security, this property could offer much greater value. For now, it remains an option only if location and price are your main priorities.

    “Decent”

    The location is a highlight, making it easy to explore the area, and hot water was consistently available which is always a plus. However, the cleanliness left something to be desired, and the room size felt cramped, impacting overall comfort. While amenities were decent, the housekeeping could use improvement, and I found it challenging to get a good night's sleep due to noise levels. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for value in a convenient spot
