Noisy pub on ground floor but windows were double glazed so not an issue. Close to the station- 2 minute walk. One other good point was that reception was open 6am to 12 midnight. Coffee and tea facilities were available in the room. I had a double room, (2 single beds) with its own bathroom but the following points were disappointing: Room didn't look as good as the picture in the ad! Blind was broken; bedside light didn't work; Bathroom smelled like there was a broken sewer pipe; bathroom door could only be closed from the inside so I couldn't close the door to stop the smell seeping into the bedroom. I asked if there was an alternative room but everything was booked. Staff apologised and said they would get their manager to look at fixing the issues. I wouldn't stay again.

Cool for shorter stays and sightseeing

Pros: If you get into a good room you will have amazing company! So the social I guess. Bed is cool enough, soft and nice.
Cons: Clean bathroom more often or just check for toiletpaper. Stop waking people up who want to sleep in with your radio broadcast. The aircon was freezing
Location: Walking distance 3 min to Roma Street station, close to Night Owl 24/7 store, Subway, Japanese food place (5/5) and 15 minutes walk to queens street
Well the room was not as clean as I expected but still decent enough. It is my first time staying at a backpacker hostel so it was quite an experience. I guess the cleanliness can be excused depending on the people staying in the room. The shared bathroom though didn't make me feel very comfortable. Only one shower worked and quite often it was out of toilet paper. The people in my room were all really nice and cool though so the entire experience became just better with the company. Despite living close to city the noise from the street was unheard of. Loved the free rice and pasta however the kitchen wasn't very clean and only some of the stoves were working. It took me really long to realise you had to get plates and tableware from the reception so I ate my food with chopsticks I got from eating sushi out. The place is full with posters with information which is easily overlooked. Was amazed by the 24 hour reception! Don't consider sleeping in the reception will not allow it, nor will the clean up team! They come in and make noise not taking any consideration toward the people sleeping. The staff was chill but when the room was freezing, no one knew how to turn off the air condition. Also a tip from my room mates if you want internet it is not worth buying the cheap slow one, because IT IS SLOW buy the expensive one week it will be worth it! Would recommend it for shorter stays and to meet other people! Not for anything more than 2-3 days.

Close to city, but interior of hotel looks rough.

Kettle in room looks like it hadn't been cleaned ever! The fan switch for the bathroom was missing, and I was concerned of getting an electric shock if I tried to turn it on.
