Everything was easy and comfortable. A great location, easy walk to everything in town and the beds were very comfy.

The noisy people outside our room at 11:30pm. They did move when asked.

"Comfy and relaxing"

10.0

It’s a beautiful and well cared place, with a lot of lovely places to sit around and relax in the common areas. The room was very comfortable, clean and warm. The staff is also very friendly, willing to help and give great recommendations. It’s been the best hostel where I have stayed in Australia!
