I didn’t like because we arrived at 10:20 from Perth , they charged me $40 for the late arrival and the room were very dirty, smelly and the bedsheets and beds were disguising, they never cleaned the room. My children could not slept as the bed was dirty and they got itchy. The hygiene was very poor and horrible.

Pancakes each morning were great and stimulated friendly interactions between guests and staff. Taco the pussycat was a hit with our 11 year old. Amenities were great, generally clean plenty of room & equipment to cook your own meals. The men’s bathroom stinks, Urinal poorly cleaned/maintained.

Egon

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Toilets especially the urinal smelled so bad that I was not able to use the full facility like shower as it's all in the same room. I don't understand why a toilette has to smell so bad that you have to dry reach. Use bleach twice a day should eliminate your problem. Also, got maximum 2 hours of sleep as the noise of the communal area did not stop until 3 am. Location and staff are excellent. Would never use again unless the toilettes get upgraded.

If you want to be in the centre of town the location is quite good with public transport just across the road. I had a private room bed was very uncomfortable mattress has definitely had its day, shared bathroom facilities are definitely not great needs renovation. But depending on your budget it nay just be your thing. Lots of interesting guests to meet and strike up a conversation .Staff were friendly.

This place are in the centre of the town. Walks easily everywhere. Rooms only and shared toilets and baths, however, it is perfect just for a couple who loves travelling and exploring places, not looking for a decent room. Good for a group of friends. Totally recommended to all explorers and backpackers.
