Location is fine, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the ocean for a nice walk and beautiful sunset. Room are kinda cozy, but also kinda weird as you feel you are living in a barn/hay loft.

We had zero interaction with staff, and didn’t see any at all. Although self-check-in/-out can be convenient, not seeing staff did create a feeling of lack of authority. Kitchen is old school, it works, but is also small. Bathroom to rooms ratio is too low, creating potential long wait times for shower and toilet. Also, rooms and bathroom are fully accessible through the parking lot, and I’m quite sure someone not staying in the accommodation used the toilet. So that didn’t contribute to feeling safe

We stayed in king room with bathroom and beds (not sure about bunks) were soft and comfortable. Sheets and towels were supplied but had to make own bed and strip at end of stay. Hot water was slow to come but once it did shower was great although fan didn’t clear the steam. Great position, very central to everything. Would stay here again

Toilet paper!!! You end up using more when so this so defeats the purpose of having thin paper to start with

Great atmosphere, loved the historic building and the kitchen was great. We felt very welcome.

It's a hostel, so it's going to be basic, but it has everything you need.

Jess was very helpful communicating with us prior to our stay. She was really prompt answering my questions and she made us felt welcomed. I originally had doubt of the place as it's a hostel and the price was much cheaper than those air BnB's, in fact, this place could be even better than some Air BnB's. Our room has an ensuite which suits us better. I think it's more fun staying in the YHA as you meet different people and make some friends. During my stay, I saw Jess hand-picked flowers from the gardens and put them into vases, they looked so pretty. The room was nice and clean, you will need to put up the sheets yourself which I didn't mind doing, as you can see the sheets are clean and you feel more comfortable. The room we stayed was cool compared to the temperature outside, which is great, no aircon is needed! During the night, the room temperature was just right. There were a few comments about the noise, I would like to say it's the same as you stay in any hotels, we can't avoid baby crying and loud talking... everywhere are the same. We had a good night sleep.

The only thing I could think of is the car park is a bit small, in first-come-first-served bases. We parked in front of the hostel as there were not enough space to park. The town is quite safe as we left a few luggage in the car. No break-ins or damages to our car!

Location very central to all things

Bathroom needed a bigger dry area to change

The place is great and really enjoyed this hostel. Close to everything The beach light house and really enjoyed it

Nothing

Port fairy is a beautiful town! and YHA was a nice budget option when i was in-between accommodations. Staff are super friendly and facilities clean and quiet.

Staff was friendly

Had a private room which was tiny the wifi didn’t reach room so had to sit in the main building all night there was holes all over the room and webs which just looked spider infested and when I looked down the side of the bed I seen about 5 giant dead insects
