Guest Reviews
- Meline (6/5): -
- nais (9/5): -
- Enrico Herrera Manzano (8/5): -
- Elena (8/5): soggiorno andato bene - Un buon ostello
- Vavine (8/5): A nice place to stay - I liked the kitchen and the roof top. Sharing mix is quite concerning and uncomfortable. Perhaps could have rooms for men and women separated. Or those with couples could be in one. Also been in rooms upstairs and have to drag bags up was not satisfactory. Also rooms could be allocated based on the size of a person although it’s random bed selection. For me it was awkward and uncomfortable climbing on top of the bunk bed.
- Bola (8/5): -
- Maciak (8/5): -
- Lorena (8/5): Bien ubicado y limpio - Cómo baño adentro de la habitación. Todo súper limpio.
- Andrés Ojeda Ruiz (5/5): Good rooms, small and tidy kitchen. Staff can improve - Bedrooms are really comfy in general. Good mattress and curtain plus plenty space and lockers in the room with AC.
Very tidy kitchen and somewhat the toilets as well Part of the staff is not very willing to help when exceptions or special requests are needed.
Stayed for 2 weeks and couldn't have breakfast before work because they didn't open the kitchen until 6am.
When I asked to see the cctv to determine who had taken my groceries bag I left in the common area one girl of the staff refused because it was too tedious to check them. Later on tried again with other girls of the staff and even when we saw who of the staff had taken it to the staff room after cleaning that night, it was impossible to ask it back.
- Shana (9/5): -
- de Carvalho Faria (7/5): -
- Wayne (10/5): I had issues with another hostel that wouldn’t let me stay without a non- Australian passport, but Caroline at the front - It was close to the CBD. Across the road to supermarket , bars & restaurants & a cinema. Close to public transport.
- Simon (5/5): - La anotación era cómoda. El baño amplio y limpio Me pidieron que pague la seña de la llave exclusivamente en efectivo, al otro día al hacer el check out no había nadie para devolverla y que me reembolsen el dinero. Y cuando veo el resumen de la tarjeta también me cobraron la llave en la tarjeta. Al salir deje mí llave en el mostrador. Fue desprolijo el manejo

- Natsumi (8/5): -
- Judit (7/5): -
- paddy (10/5): -
- Caroline (7/5): Bon rapport qualité- prix, efficace, mais rien d’exceptionnel - - Localisation,
- propreté,
- casiers de rangement,
- cuisine,
- Rooftop - Aucune place pour faire sécher les serviettes,
- très bruyant le soir,
- sympathie du personnel,
- plusieurs wc et douches
- machines à laver dans le couloir donc bruit ++ dans les dortoirs
- on sentait fort les ressorts des matelas
- Lars (3/5): - Der var ikke en stol med ryglæn. Der var ikke plads til alle hvor du skulle spise. De tjener ca. 2000 $ pr. Rum. Plan med vandrerhjem er det skal være billigt, for alle. Så max 20 us.$
- Daniela (4/5): Regular a malo - Cercano al centro El colchón ultra durísimo
Y no priorizan no hacer ruido a horas del sueño
- Alice (9/5): Would stay again, can’t fault it. - Comfortable, good location, lovely manager Smaller kitchen but still workable :)
- Marine (1/5): Terrible experience, completely unfair and money-driven. - El rooftop These people are basically thieves. They grant credits to some guests but refuse others without any consistency or fairness. For example, someone who simply wanted to go on vacation to the Gold Coast was given a credit with no issue, while I, who had a genuinely valid reason, was denied. It feels like they just want to keep your money, especially since the hostel is always full and they would have no trouble rebooking the bed.
On many levels, it’s clear they only care about money.
A friend of mine was even kicked out for bringing her e-bike battery inside during heavy rain to keep it safe. Instead of showing any understanding or compassion, they used it as an excuse to charge her $350. No empathy, no flexibility.
My advice: don’t book too many nights in advance. The moment they have an opportunity to take your money, they will, without hesitation.
- Marine (1/5): Voleurs !!! - They are thieves and liars

- Januario (7/5): - I like the places quite small No comment
- KENICHI (9/5): - ルーフトップからの眺めが良い、スタッフの人数が多く清掃などの管理が行き届いている。
設備備品が整頓されている。ドミトリールームのロッカーが大きく広い。日替わりのイベントが楽しい 。泊まった日はバーベキュー無料だった
道路を渡ると大きなスーパーがある
- Marco (6/5): - Pulita e ben organizzata Cucina veramente piccola e bagni scomodi con separé tipo bagno da palestra, no privacy, inoltre piccolo pochi spazi e attività da fare
- Elliott (7/5): -
- Nagisa (8/5): -
- Asseiro Fernandes (7/5): -
- Dupont (10/5): -
- Ivan (10/5): - Everything! Nothing.
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Lisa Lorraine (8/5): -
- Alice Maya (10/5): The perfect place to stay - We stayed at the summer house two years ago, and now everything is new, with excellent management and organization.
I loved the daily cleaning of the rooms.
I appreciated the curtains for the beds, which weren’t there before.
No odors in the room. Maybe the mattresses are too hard
- Sol Agustina (3/5): Bad experience - The only good thing about the hostel is its location, as it’s close to the train station and the area seems safe. However, it’s not very close to the tourist area, it's about a 20-minute walk. We stayed for 2 nights and honestly, it was a disappointment. The staff is a mess—the receptionist didn’t seem to know what he was doing. We asked if the deposit was a pre-authorization and he couldn’t answer, and in general he wasn’t able to respond to any of our questions.
The housekeeping staff were very disrespectful. They entered the rooms multiple times at all hours, making a lot of noise, talking loudly, and even playing music, even when they could see people were sleeping.
One of the housekeeping staff members refused to let us get water from the kitchen, saying he had already cleaned that area and we couldn’t use it anymore. We explained that we only wanted water, not to cook, but he still refused and asked us to leave.
The overall atmosphere of the hostel wasn’t very good either.
- Carolin (9/5): -
- Tomas (10/5): - Amenities, vibes and many different plans everyday made this experience unique . The kitchen open at 8 am, is late for me.
- Andrew (1/5): - Not much Because I couldn't find my correct id when I went to check in, I didn't get any of the online payment returned. I had stayed there a week earlier no problems.
- pablo (7/5): - Good location and well deserved by transport.
There are stores near the hostel so that’s convenient Not that much infrastructure to stay calm and get rest whiteout getting in your room.
Also the management is to rude with how you keep your stuff in your room and if they take it you need to pay 10$ to get it back
- Tal (7/5): - מיטות וחדרים נוחים, צוות נחמד ואדיב. המיקום לא טוב. רחוק יחסית מהמרכז וממוקם ליד פארק מלא הומלסים.
לא נקי בעיקר במקלחות.
- Joris (8/5): -
- Adriana (7/5): -
- adam (7/5): -
- Lizzy (10/5): -
- Margherita (8/5): - Pulita Aria condizionata troppo forte
- Marion (10/5): -
- Darwin (8/5): - The kitchen was big and well equipped.
- Marcel Heinrich (2/5): - Even after reminder messages, I still haven’t received my $20 key bond, and no reason has been given.
- Metin (6/5): - roof top Air

- Nkoto Emane (7/5): -
- Alva (7/5): -
- James (10/5): Lovely stay - Simple, to the point, all facilities served their purpose well. Comfortable bed, good wifi. All round a great spot to stay and in a good location. Nothing comes to mind.
- 邱 (2/5): -
- Silvia (8/5): Facile fare amicizie - Accogliente
- Caitlin (10/5): -
- Tetsu (8/5): -
- Nicolas Lucas (10/5): -
- Louis (7/5): - It was actually one of the nicest hostels I stayed in. Rooms are a good size, beds have curtains and amenities. Not so much specific to this hostel, as all the hostels are fairly grouped together but it’s not directly in the CBD and if choosing a particular route you will be walking past a lot of drunk homeless people.
- Eric (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Gaël (6/5): -
- Molly (3/5): -
- Tiago Akira (6/5): Good location. - Good location. People respected the silence times. Staff was great. Bathroom wasn’t smelling good.
- Fafin (9/5): - Grande cuisine, litterie confortable, casiers à disposition Des raclettes pour passer un coup par chacun ou un petit coup de nettoyage supplémentaire seraient top mais c'était déjà satisfaisant.
La chambre et les toilettes étaient tres propres.
- Yoshio (10/5): -
- Ines (7/5): -
- Sukkarieh (10/5): - The hospitality The rooftop bar
- Nadine (7/5): -
- Ugo (8/5): - Don't come to work in the morning if you're going to look like you're at a funeral, without smiling or saying hello or goodbye ! Unlike the evening staff when I arrived, who were welcoming and smiling!
- JAGADEESH KUMAR (9/5): - Location was cool and satisfied my expectations rooms are very neat and clean. I have listened to some noise from besides my room there is a washing machine and dryer sound is very noisy this is only thing I noticed nothing else overall it is very good.
- Jean-Charles (7/5): Bien dans l’ensemble cependant cuisine et rooftop trop petit, - Propreté dans l’ensemble bien respecté et facile d’accès Chambre trop petite (chambre mixte de 10 personnes)
Je suis resté 2 semaines et pendant 1 semaine il y avait un problème de chauffe eau où l’eau été tiède !!! L’intervention a été bien longue.
- Seok-Po (8/5): -
- Isla (9/5): Lovely stay - The cleanliness and air con was nice Nothing
- Rayan (1/5): -
- Clara (9/5): -
- gaia zambon (10/5): - everything but the pillow the pillow!!!!😅
- Bertrand (1/5): -
- TB (7/5): Decent place, nice atmosphere. Crap bed. - Everything except the bed.
The roof lounge
Awesome aircon, someone has actually thought about it as once in bed the temperature in the room is perfect. The mattress and the pillow are just a waste of time. If you invested in good bedding your place is an easy 8.
- Sofia (10/5): -
- Nicolas (1/5): -
- Fernanda (9/5): -
- Diane (10/5): -
- Lara (6/5): - Close to the city, very clean Just one table for eating (not enough)
