A good location near Central station and Chinatown. Functional room that was comfortable.
9 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Brilliant location, warm welcoming staff and a comfy, home from home stay :) Staff clearly care and work hard to keep an active hostel clean and make sure people feel comfortable and have a great stay. There are varying social activities/events to get involved in, and opportunity to naturally connect with people in the 24/7 common areas, but it’s also relaxed to just chill by yourself.
The kitchen has recently upgraded facilities (new stove top and oven!) and the fridge has LOTS of space following a clear out.
I'm a repeat visitor, and I’d recommend it for travellers, working holiday makers, anyone needing a comfy, friendly stay.
