Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No air conditioning, no wifi, unsafe environment. Linen and towels are very old and smelly. The building is old and broken. The staffs are all very unprofessional and poor English. Only good thing about the place is walking distance to tram and queen Victoria market.

a nightmare

Please read google reviews and don't make the same mistake that i did. Booked for two weeks, the place was a living nightmare full of dangerous people. I tried to get a refund, but i wasn't able to because of the hostel's policy.

For God’s sakes read online reviews before booking, this was a mistake I made. IT IS NOT WORTH IT even if you’re pinching pennies, immediately left after one night and moved to a different hostel, and BE WARNED, NO AIRCONDTIONING or even a fan so it was hotter than hell during my stay. The window was open so you could hear all of the traffic and shouting outside.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a horrible stay. BED BUGS, knife threats, and in rude staff. The check in was rude and I was treated like I was an inconvenience. Later that night my roommate came in and said that some just threatened the front desk with a knife and two cop squadrons were sent in! I was terrified to leave my room. My roommate was smacking in the room and I later found out the cops didn’t arrest the guys who were threatening people with knife’s they just let them stay. Oh and Best of all, I got eaten by BED BUGS.

Don’t not book! Even if it’s cheap!

Do not stay here. It’s more of a homeless shelter than hostel. The photos make it look clean but it is anything but. There are drug addicts here who will try and open your door. Didn’t even stay for 1 hour. The receptionist is unbelievably rude and unprofessional. If you book here your company is people who don’t mind living in their own filth. The room I got had faeces on the wall and the smoke alarm was ripped open and batteries stolen. After everything only staying for 1 hour I was denied a refund for my stay. Absolutely disgusting and horrendous. Please stay away.

Despite the best efforts of the staff, this place was completely compromised by the clientele. Recently renovated bathrooms were left in an appalling state by those using and I saw faeces in places I have never seen it before in my life. It's a shame because the hostel is well located and the staff were friendly and helpful.
