Overall the property was good, the cost of a twin room with no additional amenities in the room ie tea/coffee, desk and with the additional cost of public parking on top was excessive for a backpackers.

Great hostel. The best of my Australia trip. Very clean. Huge kitchen for cooking (by the end of the day it would get pretty dirty but still useable). Plenty of casual seating area in the lobby. Good location to story bridge and restaurants and bars. Would stay again.

First night I was provided with my room number and key - it was dirty, full of rubbish and stank of weed smoke. I slept on a plastic covered mattress with no sheets, only a doona with no cover. The next morning I was informed by a staff member that it was mistakenly given a key to a 'Work for board' room and they had a clean room for me. It was an improvement, at least it had clean sheets, but the bathroom was very dirty and I tried to avoid spending any time in the place.
