I wouldn’t advise this is a safe place to stay. ##### Tracey Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trindy Jun 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Reviews older than 6months are very much out of date. Rooms are clean, bathrooms freshly remodelled and overall it's a quiet building. Location is its best quality and there is no elevator so zero accessibility options. ##### Trindy Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Comfortable Private twin room shared bathroom. Room was larger than expected and clean. No screen on window though, was warm so had to have open. Reception only open for an hour which was inconvenient. Bring a towel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gavin Jun 20, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Below average. Sharing a smelly, dirty room with two long-term staying students. Bathroom similarly un-cleaned. Bed was comfy though ##### Gavin Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gail Feb 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was woken continuously throughout the night by girls in my area and two were sleeping in one bed. I found a man passed out and asleep on a landing, who had spilt a can of alcohol on the carpet. I was quite disappointed with clientele last night. ##### Gail Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Laura Jan 26, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was the most disgusting and poorly managed hostel I've ever experienced. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 20 years - mildew, grime, and hair all over the floor and walls. Same with the rugs and floors. The kitchen is absolute chaos. Management is completely unresponsive and uncaring. ##### Laura Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Julia Feb 21, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hostel did not feel safe for young women travellers. Many of the guests seemed to be older men who appeared as long-term residents. COVID has clearly changed the demographic of this property and as such, this should be communicated online. The building is also in disrepair and very poorly lit inside hallways and stairwells. Nearly pitch black at times. ##### Julia Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Benjamin Jan 20, 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Room 108, brightest light from the carpark next door shining through all night. Two curtains would be helpful as opposed to one that doesn't quite cover the window. Room was still being cleaned when we arrived, was hoping to drop our luggage off and start exploring but had to wait. Reception hours are a bit strange, closes at 2:30pm, generally people check-in after 2pm so we felt that was a bit odd. Late check-in has to be organised 24hrs prior to arrival. Even though it's on the less expensive side, I still don't feel like you get what you pay for. I've seen better facilities at camping grounds. Next time we'll know better :) ##### Benjamin Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ziyi Jan 19, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Firstly, the room is absolutely disgusting. There are still previous guests’ hair on the sheet and significant amount of spit on the ground. Secondly, the reception is extremely lazy. Guests should go across a long, dark and narrow corridor to get outside the hotel after 5 p.m. Thirdly, most of the residents here are not “backpackers”. They are probably homeless junkies who made poisonous loud noises during midnight. Finally, the shared bathroom are also sickly disgusting. Drunken people are vomiting in the sink and toilet, no hotel staff are going to clean it. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL!!! ##### Ziyi Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bryan Brunovich Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Pretty clean and nice older building but my room was freezing ##### Bryan Brunovich Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natália Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities very close to all areas around hobart, kind staff, very clean amenities, not busy. higly recommended. ##### Natália Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joceline Jul 24, 2025 Liked: Amenities The building is old but it's good to have a good stay for 1-2 nights in hobart, the location is strategic, right in the center of hobart cbd, and affordable as well. Good place to stay! ##### Joceline Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Agnieszka Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice single room, good facilities. Nice backpackers . ##### Agnieszka Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great stay for people on a budget! Note: Ladies showers downstairs are cold water only - Use the showers upstairs. ##### Sarah Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Russell Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Excellent value for money. Being able to get a private room for under $100 is something let alone $65 (cash). Definitely would consider using it again. Window did not have flywire which wasn't too much of a biggie. No cooling. Leaving the door ajar caused a terrific breeze. Night exit was immediately under window and one night there was revelry until 1 am under the window. ##### Russell Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Kingston.h1363967.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Jalisco - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Riu-Jalisco-All-Inclusive.h897912.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near York University](https://www.expedia.ca/York-University-Hotels.0-l503150-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in James Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/James-Bay-Victoria-Hotels.0-n6215774-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Emerald House Lisbon, Curio Collection By Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-The-Emerald-House-Lisbon.h72278510.Hotel-Information) > > [Belvedere Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Belvedere-Suites.h1507612.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Oriente Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Oriente-Station-Hotels.d6145239.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Limón Province](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Limon-Province-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6247762-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Stone Mill Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Stone-Mill-Inn.h8663236.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Medicine-Hat.h12755795.Hotel-Information) > > [Inns Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Inns.d11178-aaInns.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Aruba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d9-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Macao - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Macao-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h534131.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sardonyx Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hotel-Sardonyx-Tokyo.h14726.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Canadian Rockies Intl. to LON-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxc/lon/cranbrook-to-london) > > [Flights from Cochrane (YCN) to Timmins (YTS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycn/yts/cochrane-to-timmins) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Zeta Municipality (TGD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/tgd/calgary-to-podgorica) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chantilly (IAD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/iad/toronto-to-washington) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Edmonton International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Edmonton-International-Airport.d6337367.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals near World Cruise Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-World-Cruise-Center.d6144084.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Woodstock](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Woodstock.d601850.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/88/Jamaica) > > [Portugal](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/147/Portugal) ### Vacation Rentals > [Fort Saskatchewan Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Saskatchewan-Vacation-Rentals.d6023601.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) > > [Florida Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Florida.d211.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) ### General > [Visit Alanya](https://www.expedia.ca/Alanya.dx4671) > > [Visit Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria.dx4138)
