They was brilliant and awesome. Bed was very comfortable, showers powerful. ##### Kornilus ### 8/10 Good #### Jayden Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great design of the room, really high quality for the price. Comfy bed, only issue was it was pretty noisy but that’s what you get on a Friday night. A gap filler under the door would help massively. Great location and smooth check in and out - don’t even need to speak to anyone at all. ##### Jayden Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kylee Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great experience! Nicest hostel I’ve stayed in! Very clean and well managed. Would stay here again. Only downside is that the bathroom doors make a lot of noise when you open them so that would wake me up in the middle of the night since the walls to the hallway are very thin. ##### Kylee Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig Dec 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great queen bed sized accomodation , clean , good sized with all the amenities. Ensuite bathroom was sufficient although the room I stayed in required the handy man to fix the wc paper holder as it couldn't hold the roll eproperly and the vent grills in the bathroom require cleaning they are full of dirt / dust and grime and while these are up high out of eyesight, it reflects poorly on the overall aesthetic I'm sure management are trying to upheld ! ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ngaio Dec 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They went out of their way to help me with a suitable non std accommodation. ##### Ngaio Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Julie Dec 6, 2023 Tiny room, reminded me of a prison cell ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Evelyn Jan 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were super friendly and helpful. The premises and rooms were fairly clean and fresh. We got a great discount so the price was great for Melbourne with a family of 4. The atmosphere was friendly and full of excited back packers. The downside was the noise. We barely slept because there was a loud refrigeration type motor that kept switching on and off all night. And there was a man who was yelling somewhere nearby (it felt like underneath our window) all night at random intervals as well. Otherwise it would have been a good cheap accommodation option. ##### Evelyn Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### colin Mar 22, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities The toilet was dirty, money for value , poor small room no tea and coffee no fridge, toilet was dirty . ##### colin Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew Feb 26, 2025 ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yuki Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Yuki Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anjali Apr 20, 2024 ##### Anjali Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### HsinHua Mar 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 很不錯 還不錯 cp值滿高的，工作人員態度又好，推 ##### HsinHua Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deanne Feb 15, 2024 ##### Deanne Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hannah Zipporah Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bed, room, lounge is comfy. Problem is they didnt have a fan for when the temperature is warm so there's a bit of struggle there. Also its a bit noisy when other rooms shut their door specially at night. Youll hear it all from bed. Otherwise its all not too bad. ##### Hannah Zipporah Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Lakawon Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cadiz-City-Hotels-Lakawon-Island-Resort.h48718784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Langham, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Langham.h2112.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Niagara-Falls.h1403139.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cannes](https://www.expedia.ca/Cannes-Hotels.d602282.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort **available 12/24-12/29/22**](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bay-Lake-Tower-At-Disneys-Contemporary-Resort.h42407106.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Grenada](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Grenada-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d68-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Hotel Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Hotel-Windsor.h11362.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Guanacaste](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6247738-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Atlantis, The Palm](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Atlantis-The-Palm.h2235336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in NoHo](https://www.expedia.ca/NoHo-New-York-Hotels.0-n6226055-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Dillon](https://www.expedia.ca/Dillon-Hotels.d6872.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [151 Dan Leckie Way](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-151-Dan-Leckie-Way.h96048240.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Blue Resort Bonnie Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Great-Blue-Resort-Bonnie-Lake-Resort.h38429380.Hotel-Information) > > [Serenade Punta Cana Beach & Spa Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Serenade-Punta-Cana-Beach-Spa-Resort.h44442694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Killarney Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Killarney-Provincial-Park-Hotels.0-l553248621562269372-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Los Arcos Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Los-Arcos-Suites.h428596.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/cok/halifax-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/yyz/chicago-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/phx/vancouver-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mco/toronto-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Konavle (DBV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fco/dbv/rome-to-dubrovnik) ### Activities > [Things to do in Oak Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Oak-Bay.d6215666.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Vadodara](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Vadodara.d524.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Negril Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril.d2543.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Downtown Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Downtown-Seattle.dx800130)
