Smallest room I've ever seen

Paid $85 to stay in a poorly divided room with enough room for a single bunk bed and that's it .not even enough room to spread out your suitcase the walls were paper thin where you can hear every word . Don't even bother

Very good location.

Pros: Good location, easy access to trains and bus station, China town and restaurants is almost everywhere.
Cons: Improve on the hardness of the mattress and the brightness of the room.
We were staying in Room 411. The mattress is too soft and too thick, very uncomfortable after sleeping for the whole night. For this I will grade it as "C-". Room lighting is not enough. It could be brighter for reading. I will give a "B-". Breakfast is just nice, I will give an "A" for it. Very good in providing a kitchen so that we could do our own cooking. Grade "A" for it.

Convenient, clean, close, comfortable.

I was only there one night as I was having a night out in Brisbane, but the 4 bed dorm en-suit was perfect.

Stuffy hell hole

The room we stayed in had absolutely no ventilation and smelt of old socks.

Pros: Close to the school I needed to visit
Cons: Slamming of exit door adjacent to my room
A chair in the room would have been good as sitting on the bed under the double bunk was difficult. A bedside table and lamp would have been good too.
