The staff were helpful, the key app great as we could both have it logged on our phones and didn't risk forgetting to return keys ##### MICHELLE Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### susan Jan 4, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness My first time in hostel. I stayed in 4 bed dorm, first night was on my own and second night with 2 other ladies. I did have reservations about staying but on the whole it was great. The area outside was quite noisy due to being on main road and could have been kept cleaner but would definitely stay again ##### susan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Irene Yan Yu Jun 10, 2024 Liked: Amenities Liked the price and location. Would be good to have accessible parking, even at a cost. No hairdryer in the room, would suggest at least installing one in the shared bathrooms. Felt insecure using the kettle and mugs in the room. ##### Irene Yan Yu Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrina Oct 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pretty techy- can check-in/out without interacting with any staff. You can even open the front door and door to your room with their app. The only thing that I think they can improve on is having an outlet at each bed. Having an outlet inside the locker is nice and all but I would like to have easy access to my phone when I go to bed and when I wake up. ##### Andrina Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Extracguest in the room too often ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not worth the money paid. ##### Sally Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Abu Jul 2, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The only good thing about this property is its location as it's close to Canberra Centre. There is only one lift in the property which is quite busy and you have to wait. I stayed in a family room. There were no wardrobes. No hooks in the bathroom so you can't hang your clothes while you are taking shower. The heating is controlled by the reception and when we checked in, the room was very cold. You have no control over heating/cooling. Cutlery provided in the main kitchen was oily, perhaps not properly cleaned. No free parking around the property. I had to struggle finding a parking as I had to stay for 2 nights. I won't recommend the property for a family stay. ##### Abu Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sanari Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is closeby fir shopping and dinning since it os located centrallocation of CBD. Very clean and cozy room with lots of space. Friendly reception staff. ##### Sanari Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Genevieve Oct 30, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Poor housekeeping, cobwebs near the curtains, moth flying around in the room all night, dust on the table lamps and back of the table, whole room needed a proper deep clean, couldn’t lock the room door from inside and given access is via an app on the phone felt a bit unsafe, no temp control in the room and no one at reception to help with making it warmer, no tea spoons, fridge still had stuff in it, very noisy could hear everything going on outside esp the banging of doors and the dryer from the bathroom. Bed was decent and bed linen and towels were clean. Such a shame because some decent housekeeping would have been a game changer although not sure what could be done for how noisy it is. Basically a clean bed in an excellent location really which is fine for a decent hostel but pretty awful when I paid $188 for one of their private rooms. ##### Genevieve Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruifang Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice experience ##### Ruifang Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olwyn Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a great location, right in the heart of Canberra & for such an amazing price & walking distance to all city attractions. Everything was so neat, clean & tidy with great facilities. I definitely highly recommend it as great value for money. Reception staff were very warm & friendly. I'll definitely book again on my next visit to Canberra. Thank you for a lovely stay. ##### Olwyn Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice comfy and spacious room.

Overcharged for a towel for $10 which is shameful. The place was very loud and difficult to sleep in but the staff weren’t as helpful as they could’ve been. ##### Mary-Anne Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### LIRIM Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Pool out of service would of been nice to know that, and no parking ##### LIRIM Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judi Dec 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great price for a private room with ensuite in the city.
