I stayed at Urabn Central from October 2007 until March 2008 and loved it. Being a solo backpacker, I was concerned that I would feel isolated and find it hard to get to know fellow travellers but found that the relatively small dorm rooms (maximum 4 per room) meant that it was easy to make friends with my fellow room... more

Upon my arrival I found urban central a very nice and clean, check in went smoothly. The hostel seems very renovated and great at first, however the shower walls were transparent (weird) and the water was too cold. At nights it can get too noisy and I ran into drunk males in the female toilets so security was not the... more

I paid $104 a night for a private room, -It was freezing and the heater didnt work, when I reminded them of this I was very rudely mocked by staff and handed a personal heater. Although it looks modern and clean, it isn't. I wanted to sleep on the floor rather than in the filthy bed. I'm not sure if... more

Good points -Very clean -Bed was comfortable -Cheap ($550 a week) -Close to the city (About a 20 minute walk or approx $10 taxi ride to anywhere in the city) -Eve club next door (Heard it was popular... more

Stayed here for a week in May, the hostel is huge with a really big kitchen but had one main issue there was no control. Dont get me wrong I like to have a drink just as much as the next person but this place is of the scales. You would walk in at 3pm and people would be on... more

ROOM - Stayed there for 2 nites (in family room with attached bath+toilets). The room is big, personal locker and reasonably clean. COMMON AREAS - Smells The GOOD - lots of rooms, beds, big dining area. Free pasta and rice. Breakfast included. The BAD - Big crowd and very noisy. The UGLY - Cooking during rush hour is like going... more

This hostel is well maintained and kept clean. There are only four bed dorms so you won't feel crammed like a sardine. It is huge and can seem almost hospital sterile, but there are good times to be had at the bar and friendly people all around. And if you are so inclined, you can even scale the walls of... more

Very close to supermarkts, opposite a mcdonalds and easy walking distance to all sights. There is a tram stop 5mins walk away to connect to all over the city. Book trips at hotel desk for discounts i found them helpful. They advertise lots of different trips for travellers. Most trips pick up outside building. The Crowne Casino is a must... more
