Guest Reviews

• Koki (7/5): -
• Anastasia (3/5): -
• thomaswillaume2 (9/5): -
• Fabio (3/5): IMPOSSIBILE DORMIRE - La camera era pulita e confortevole Impossibile dormire a causa della musica del bar accanto alle camere fino alle 2 del mattino e i ragazzi che abitano stabilmente fanno chiasso fino all’una del mattino, nell’area comune dove si affacciano alle camere. La struttura avvisata di questo problema non ha minimamente trovato una soluzione. Si limitano ad una notifica sul cellulare. Scandaloso
• Liang Yin (3/5): 隔壁太吵了，住宿前應該要先提醒週末會吵到午夜12點 - 位置在市中心 隔壁很吵，酒吧週末會吵到半夜，而且浴室很髒，多處發霉，床鋪的位置也很糟糕，有些床鋪沒有任何平台
• Belén (8/5): -
• Elin (9/5): Prisvärt - Bra lokaler som städades regelbundet. Stort rum för de med 8 bäddar, mycket sköna sängar. Rätt så rymligt kök. Eget uttag vid sängen och ett värdeskåp där en liten ryggsäck får plats. Folk rökte överallt trots skyltar. Var en liten promenad in till centrum, men inte så farligt. Om man inte tål ljud på nätterna ska man inte bo här, är på en bar. Typ bara en dusch som hade riktigt bra tryck,
• Cardarelli (8/5): - La posibilidad de estar en piezas con baño privado. El ruido. Además, la pieza privada para 3 es pequeña.
• Laure (8/5): -
• Natasha (4/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful. The shared facilities were often dirty, bins overflowing, no toilet paper, clogged sinks. The place could really benefit from some minor redecoration to make it look less like a prison yard. Paper thins walls so could hear absolutely everything going on in the room next door.
• Elizebeth (6/5): The staff are very responsive so talk to them if the room and amenities are not up to standard. - Location is great but for the loud music next door. Room was large and had some amenities. Had to ask the staff for missing amenities and room cleaning. Cleanliness could be improved. Common kitchen area needs a stronger dishwashing detergent.

• AKANE (8/5): -
• Cloé (4/5): Moyen, bruyant - L'emplacement et l'équipement Trop bruyant, les murs sont du papier et on entend les basse de la musique du bar au rez-de-chaussée

• Auriane (1/5): - Réceptionniste sympathique mais je me suis faite agressée dans le dortoir par un mec ivre et il n’y avais plus personne à la réception j’ai du m’endormir stressée et le même mec a ramené une fille et ils ont couché ensemble juste à côté de moi Musique à fond jusqu’à 2h du mat, salle de bains qui put 0 pression dans la douche bruit permanent travaux
• Emilio Antonio (1/5): book anything else - the worst hostel in the country, save your money and don’t stay there they make you store your food inside your room so that smells really bad, there’s a fridge inside the room (?) that smells terrible, the beds are uncomfortable, the staff girls weren’t the nicest about making me change bed because somebody was sleeping in my ”assigned bed” and she expected me to make that person move and sleep on her used sheets? anyways, save your money and dont stay there! :)
• Novianti (10/5): - Its my 2nd time to stay here.. this time is much better than my first experience.. But overall.. it was a nice stay.. Only the music was really loud..
• Novianti (5/5): -
• Alessandra (5/5): Very noisy - Good location Very noisy, impossible to sleep. Music blasting out loud till 2:00 am

• Matteo Borsani (8/5): -
• Olivia (5/5): Music blaring every night until 2am. - The hostel room was good for the price, key code doors easy to use and location was great. However, every single night there was blaring music from the connected hostel bar that was so loud being in the room felt like being in the bar itself. The music would go on until 2am every night. One night we looked in and not one person was in there yet the music was still at full volume. Did not get a full nights sleep our whole stay. If you are someone that will be up till 2am anyway this place will be great but if you want to actually sleep do not stay here.
• Febrian (7/5): -
• Max (7/5): Overall good - Great location. Fridge in every room. Nice staff. A bit loud at night, difficult to sleep
• Dennis (7/5): - Gute Lage, geräumiges Zimmer Die Bar/Partylokal direkt unterhalb ist bis 2.00 Uhr in der Nacht geöffnet und gut hörbar. Wer ruhe möchte ist hier am falschen Ort.
• Jenny (4/5): - Creo que solo me gustó la area de la terraza. No me gustó el ruido que había del bar. Las areas comunes se veían muy deterioradas, la cocina no estaba equipada como debería, hacia demasiado frio en la habitación y no habían mantas en la cama. No pude dormir hasta que el bar cerró y ademas del frio que pasé solo conseguí dormir 3h. No lo recomiendo.
• Sini-Maria (9/5): - Comfortable beds, great food at the pub and super friendly & helpful staff😊
• Rose (6/5): -
• Riku (10/5): - 10/10 Hery and Cyn were so kind and helpful during my stay. I’ll definitely be back!
• Pablo Federico (2/5): Travelled the world and saw tons of hostels. This is by far the worst - Probably just the mattress Everything else, specially the bar. In what warped mind does it make sense to have a bar with deafening music in a hostel meant for sleeping?

• Yves (7/5): Günstig und in Ordnung für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. - Die günstigste Option in Cairns. Genug Duschen und Toiletten, super Lage. Kostenlose Gepäckaufbewahrung. Das Hostel braucht auf jeden Fall mehr Liebe, die ganze Einrichtung ist etwas älter und renovierungsbedürftig, vor allem die Küche. Die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein. Im Zweierzimmer war ein Bett nicht bezogen und es war ein dreckiges Handtuch im Zimmer. Beim Checkout nach einer 10 Sterne Bewertung gebeten werden, da man ausgeht dass alles perfekt ist, finde ich eher fragwürdig.
• Tamara (8/5): - Nice staff, easy way to meet friends. Location is good. Cheap bunk beds that were shaky, and no curtains on beds.
• Alyssa (4/5): -
• Hall (1/5): - Nothing they steel peoples money and make them pay double rent or board for accommodation or they kick you out Same as above it is what it is .. the jack is full of profiles

• Tyler (5/5): -
• Tilda (6/5): - The staff was kind, the check-in and check-out was smooth, good location. There are no quiet hours what so ever. The music was blasting until 2AM. I also woke up in the middle of the night by a big bug crawling up my bed. I saw another one in the bathroom. That might just be a regular day in Australia (it’s my first time here) but it was quite disgusting experience however.
• mark (8/5): will keep it in mind if i remember what ever will be happening then,... - even though it is next door to the pub,...it was just normal sound levels and when the pub shut even though people were doing or not going into whatever they were talking about,... the background noise was just normal really for where the accommodation is and that made it a bit better than other places where there are no other things to do with the background to help but hinder the not always hindered and no help ,... nothing really,...
• Ella (8/5): Good value for money! - Private room was spacious with comfy bed! Good working showers and in a good location right next to Rusty’s market! Loved fan and aircon made life/sleeping a lot easier Kinda loud if you go to bed semi early but that’s hostel life!
• Mustafa (3/5): Compact, barely any sunlight, old beds which made excessive noise when climbed onto and some goofy boxes which they have - Nothing The cockroaches, the fact that ypu had to go around the building and take the stairs of some bar to get into your room, the almost alwas absent reception

• İnci35 (3/5): - Tesiste belirtilen şeyler tamdı Odalar mutfağın hemen yanındaydı..mutfak açık mutfaktı...sessizlik saat 22.00 de başlamasına rağmen otelde kalanlar sabah 5 e kadar inanılmaz çok gürültü yaptılar..böyle bşr gürültü beklemiyordum ki otelin hemen yanında bar da var onların gürültüsünden barın sesi gelmiyordu. Uyarmak da işe yaramadı
• Rieke (9/5): -
• Tonia Elisa Constanze (6/5): Günstiges Hostel für kurzen Aufenthalt ok - Gute Innenstadtlage Schneller Check-in Goki App funktioniert einwandfrei Im Zimmer war ein Kühlschrank Motel Zimmer mit Bad, sehr gut! Neben dem Hostel ist eine Bar, die bis 2 Uhr nachts extrem laute Musik spielt. Die Fenster und Türen sind nicht schallisoliert , sodass man nicht schlafen kann (am Wochenende) Hauptsächlich Arbeitnehmer, die nicht Lust haben, viel zu reden
• Ted (3/5): -
• major (3/5): - Staff were friendly, room was clean enough Its right next to a pub, so you cant sleep until the pub closes
• Valdemar (10/5): -
• Lafont Raybaud (6/5): bonne localisation mais mal équipé - bien localisée, activités organisées, très propre. terrasse très sympa cuisine très petite et avec seulement deux poêles pour tout le monde il faut parfois attendre 22h pour se faire cuire des pâtes
• Natali18 (9/5): - Personale super disponibile.Posizione ottima in centro.Anche per l' esperienze sono organizzate molto bene e professionali

The staff were very helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is perfect and close to everything. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks to Harriet and Cyn.
• Sihyeong (8/5): -
• James (9/5): -
• Angela (10/5): Great bargain! - Great location, facilities and price Cheap but spacious and comfortable room
• Liliana (7/5): - Lokalizacja. Ciężko było wydrapać się na łóżko, które gibało się na wszystkie strony. Nieco mała łazienka. Klimatyzacja nad moim łóżkiem mroziła mi stopy.

• Delaunay (10/5): -
• martinez gomez (9/5): - The reception staff, they were so polite and attentive, the band and officers in the bar and the location. The facilities were a bit run down and there was a peculiar smell in the hallways and stairwells.
• YU-HSUAN (5/5): -
• Montaner (3/5): Je ne recommande pas - Bonne implantation - les lits sont ni fait ni à faire, arrivé à 9h on vous fait attendre 14h pour 2 simples draps déposés sur le lit - cuisine fortement en désordre le soir + liquide vaisselle diluer à l’eau sûrement - les chambres sont en bordel cela vient des consommateurs mais il serait notable de mettre des mots - frigo qui débordé (chambre de 8, ils n’étaient que 2lors de mon arrivée) avec de la viande périmé de 1 mois sans parlé des yaourts et fruits
