No air conditioning, no wifi, unsafe environment. Linen and towels are very old and smelly. The building is old and broken. The staffs are all very unprofessional and poor English. Only good thing about the place is walking distance to tram and queen Victoria market.

For God’s sakes read online reviews before booking, this was a mistake I made. IT IS NOT WORTH IT even if you’re pinching pennies, immediately left after one night and moved to a different hostel, and BE WARNED, NO AIRCONDTIONING or even a fan so it was hotter than hell during my stay. The window was open so you could hear all of the traffic and shouting outside.

We were allowed to check-in 4 hours early. Really great! The hotel is definitely not as bad as some of the reviews are stating. However there's still room for improvements :) The male toilets were disgusting and ran out of toilet paper during the night. The rooms were really worn down

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a horrible stay. BED BUGS, knife threats, and in rude staff. The check in was rude and I was treated like I was an inconvenience. Later that night my roommate came in and said that some just threatened the front desk with a knife and two cop squadrons were sent in! I was terrified to leave my room. My roommate was smacking in the room and I later found out the cops didn’t arrest the guys who were threatening people with knife’s they just let them stay. Oh and Best of all, I got eaten by BED BUGS.

Rough as Toast

Showers were amazing. Toilet not so. And Residents that Rent out the Dorms on a weekly Basis are Extremly messy and Noisy. They smoke at the Front Door, and it drifts up Hostel Building and comes through the Windows.
