We stayed here for 3 nights. The location of this hostel is perfect. The neighbourhood is full of bars, cafes, pubs, restaurants and things to do. A short walk to the transit station too.

We booked a 3 bed private room. It had a bunk bed set and the third bed was actually the chaise section of an old couch. I found this weird and mentioned it to the staff who said 'this counts as a bed'. Aaah, not really, it counts as a couch! The room was an ok size and had an ensuite with toilet and shower. The sink was in the room with some sort of stove top and bench. There was also a bar fridge. The beds were comfortable enough, but the couch was not comfortable. Their is no A/C, we stayed on the top floor and it was hot. When we opened the windows the exhaust fan system of the restaurant next door was noisy and blew hot air up to the window. The bathroom was clean enough, they changed the floor towel each day.

Down stairs there was a small t.v room with a computer for internet. 2 couches and a coffee table. There is a kitchen which was not clean and did not offer much space for cooking. There was a dining room with 1 large table and 8 chairs. They offer free breakfast in the morning which we did not sample.

The overall vibe in this place is not very good. We found the staff not overly friendly. The paint is horrible colours throughout and covered with graffiti messages from previous travellers. (I just don't care if Dr Phil is a pimp. Or if the 'bike crew is awesome') The sheets provided for the beds were old and thread bare. The cleanliness is not of a high standard and the facilities are just adequate. Wifi internet is free, but only works within the common room which is small and closes at 11pm. It also annoyed us that they put the price up by $3 as it was grand prix weekend. But you can't beat location...right?

Just a tip, they only take cash on check in, so get some out first. Also there is not check in between 1-4pm so don't turn up then.
