If I could give negative stars I would. SOME of the staff were nice, some of them were incredibly rude. It was absolutely filthy all of the time - the kitchen made me want to vomit (smelly and dirty - fridges broken and sickly). Cleaners would come in loudly in the morning, sometimes multiple times in a day - and yet i could not tell what they tried to clean. The whole place is just filthy and ridiculously overpriced. Aircon didnt work - rooftop wasnt even open. An absolute joke. Go literally anywhere else.

Large Hostel with many guests... I was in a 6 bed room, which was ok, however with 6 bodies and lots of backpacks and cases lying around making a midnight trip to the bathroom hazardous in the dark... The kitchen was great but also very busy ... Lots of dirty unwashed plates left by some of the occupants ... Shame Overall a great place to stay... Walking distance to the City, Public transport and Queen Victoria Market
