Overall first impression was ok until I made it to my floor (5); by the smell of it I am guessing that the "No Smoking" rule is optional. The smoke smell in this place is horrendous, even in the shower you cam smell a disgusting mixture of cigarette and pot smoke. The rooms look nothing like the pictures posted online,... More

Stayed here in April in a double room. Was the cheapest hostel I could find in the city. The room was clean, as was all the communal areas I used, kitchen and toilet/showers were cleaned on a regular daily basis. There was evidence that there has been some issues within the hostel (as other reviews show) but the hostel was... More

Stayed here for around 2 weeks and was lucky to be placed in a 4-bed female dorm with nice solo travellers. They are usually young people from other regions of australia/ other countries, e.g. Sydney, Taiwan, France, Switzerland etc, here to do part-time work & travel or those on RTW trips. Most of them spent 1-3 nights in this place.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed in a private room with ensuite at Flinders for 3 nights. The place it self is clean, spacious and tidy but the walls don't hold out any sound and it's almost impossible to sleep on a Friday/ Saturday night. The bar on the 2nd floor(?) and the one in the next building over is extremely... More

Maybe I caught them at the wrong time, but this really was an awful experience. Messy, unorganized. Average staff. Noisy, and dirty facilities. Apart from its prime location (close to fast food, public transport, southbank etc.), The Joint bar was probably the most enjoyable part, and even that was better before the backpackers hooked onto it. Stay as last resort,... More

Nice place, great position. I enjoyed my stay. After returning home sometimes sit and smile at your experiences. This is one of those places.
