Bring your own pillows and towels

The location is great… close to central train station. The common bathroom has spacious shower area. Hair dryer and toiletries are provided as well. We booked a room good for 3 pax. The AC is central. But was really disappointed with the pillows, blanket and towels. They smell like rust. We had to buy our own pillows and towels from Big W.

Great hostel! Don’t have too much experience with hostels but was a good experience all around. Very close to Central Station, made it easy to get around. They clearly did their best to keep it clean and it showed. For location & that alone, would stay again.

Not really the best option

Very disappointed in the room basic for what I paidA long way to the shared bathroom. Better to get a shared room which is a much better price. Someone told me there are much more affordable rooms about 2 min walk (well that info was a bit late for this trip). Nothing open for coffee till 8 I was told. So left for the central station without having a hot drink.
