- Avg. price/night: US$105.05Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,507 reviewsRooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly. Great location close to tram lines in and around the city. The hostel hosts lots of social activities which are a great way of meeting people.Guest review byKimranPeople with friends
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.2Good - What previous guests thought, 532 reviewsLocation was good. Close to tram line. Lots of cafes near by. I only had one interaction with staff on check in and she was friendly. There was aircon and a fan in the room which helped with comfort levels on the really hot night I was there. Size of the room was good. Seems like quite a good place for backpackers and people wanting to meet new people as there are ample spaces to interact with others (at the pool table, the lounge area, the tables scattered around the hostel).Guest review byKristina ElizaSolo traveller
