Very expensive for what it offers

The rooms have 4 plugs away from the beds. The shower was under construction and covered with plastic. It is very noisy

Fair

Room quite small and no sockets near the bed. Average-sized kitchen and cleanliness that leaves something to be desired. No common place, apart from a few benches outside, but impossible to stay there when it rains.

run

The kitchen was in horrible shape (never seen that), the receptionist barely smiling, the bed about to crash (I have a bolt that got stuck in my hand), the wifi which was struggling, the kitchen closing at 10 p.m. and finally its exorbitant price for the service rendered.

Nice hostel with volleyball court

There are no curtains on the beds in the dorms for privacy, entrance not easily spotted the first time + you have to call to be opened

blessed with roommates

・Since the facility is not new, it is better not to expect toilets and showers. (Japanese perspective) ・Since the manners of using the kitchen are poor, dinner time is full of tableware and there are places where the stove cannot be used.

The worst place I have slept in my life.

Everything in the hostel, cleanliness is really not important in this hostel. The kitchen is very dirty. The moldy shower curtain and the dirty shower. No locker. No catch. The mattress sucks. The beds not pleasant. And above all the price was very high for a mediocre quality of service.

Nice place, bad room.

We were 6 friends, I had reserved a room for the 6 of us together, and when we arrived they gave us separate rooms because they did not have availability. The bathrooms are in the rooms, not very clean since sharing a room with people renting "long term", they were not cleaned often. The beds were not comfortable, and the bunk supports were loose, making it difficult to climb into the top bunk without waking the bottom sleeper.

discriminating backpacker

They discriminated against me based on age, according to the backpacker regulations the maximum age to stay is 35 years old, I'm 40 and the lady who attends was prohibiting me from entering. She told me that she let me in a little less out of pity. In Booking it does not say anything about age restriction and I do not know how the matter will be in Australia, but it seems to me discrimination that in Chile would not even cross my mind.

for one night only

There was no option of meals to buy, I had to go for a walk and find something nearby. The blanket they gave me had a musty smell. I had trouble opening the door of the room and when I asked for help the person at the reception helped me as if it were a bother

endless night

The room smelled like feet (damn carpets), the roommate came in drunk and spent the whole night throwing up, making weird noises and taking a shower. We tried to change rooms but the reception was closed, we called the emergency number and they didn't answer us, we talked to a staff but they didn't give us a solution. We ended up sleeping in the car that was parked in the hostel's garage...
