Honestly, I got exactly what I paid for. It definitely fitted my needs of just needing a bed to crash in for the night and the essentials that comes with it. I would recommend it to people who are just wanting a cheap and easy no-nonsense place to stay.

Quiet modern clean, close to nightlife and trams.

A modern spacious house adapted as a hostel. Very quiet location, yet close to Victoria Street restaurants, bars, aldi etc. Basic, flexible accommodation. Clean room. Excellent kitchen facilities. Had to wait for the bathroom a bit, but no problem. Courteous cooperative service.

It's a homestay in the true sense of the word. The caretaker goes the extra mile and is great IT support. rooms and bathrooms are excellent. The back garden area is lovely to spend time in. Laundry and Kitchen is just like home. If you need something and can't find it, all you have to do is ask.

If you're on a limited budget or everything else is booked out, then so be it. Holes in the walls, dust on all horizontal surfaces and the bed was, well, less said the better. On a positive note, however, the caretaker is a genuinely friendly gentleman who tries hard to make guests feel welcome.

I've had better sleeps in economy class long haul flights. The bloke who lives there was bashing and crashing and talking loudly in the kitchen until 1am, five metres from the pods. Zero consideration for paying guests. The light in the pod room is on all night, shining straight through the cheap shade you get instead of a door. The cheap, thin, foam mattress feels like you're lying on the hard pod frame. The pods make a racket any time someone moves, and you can hear other guests snoring. None conducive to sleep. If you're over 6'1 you won't be able to stretch out fully. I wouldn't stay there again for free.

The room was very ordinary. Lack of blankets so I had put all my clothes on and was still freezing all night. And on top of that people making noises until 3AM. Even with ear plugs I only slept a couple of hours. Towel had a stain and was torn . No tiolet paper. Never again
