Please note that this is really a hostel and really 2 stars. Very small rooms, everything is very old, the mattress is terrible, I do not know what it is made of, but after it the whole body ached. Bed linen in lint, synthetic, as it is highly electrifying. In general - clean, but it does not save the whole situation. Very thin walls, if your room is near the toilet, you will hear all the sounds from there. Breakfast is very meager: boiled eggs, bread, cereal, yogurt and a few toppings. The dishes are old, chipped. On the plus side, it is the cheapest option in the center of Victoria. But if you are used to any comfort - it is better to overpay, otherwise your vacation will be ruined. I booked for 2 nights, but I wanted to escape at first sight.

Nice clean hostel. The street around is a little sketchy, but the facility feels safe and I felt good with a gated entrance to the upper floors and double locks on my doors. The free meals and drinks are nice additions, and I appreciated that we were able to check in early and keep our bags in the storage once we’d checked out.

Had a single bed room and it was perfect for what I needed. I arrived late due to a delayed flight and unfortunately missed the nightly drink offer and dinner. But breakfast was really good, great spread of options.

Great little hostel. Breakfast and dinner were included, quite minimal but if that's what you need it's ideal, perfect for what I was after. Nice little bar area to chill out and meet like minded travellers in the evening, usually little games going on, but never too loud. I had a small private room with a sink and fridge in, did the trick. Decent kitchen space to prep and cook own food. Location is great, very close to downtown. Quite a few homeless that hang out round the area but all harmless. A pleasant stay
