Overall, Carrick House Hostel has its strengths, but it falls short in some areas. With a few improvements, it could be an excellent choice for travelers. As it stands, I would recommend it to those who are looking for a comfortable, well-located stay and are willing to bring their own essentials. Great location: The hostel is situated in a fantastic spot, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Comfortable stay: The hostel is cozy and comfortable, providing a relaxing atmosphere. Well-equipped: The hostel has all the necessary amenities, including pots and appliances.

Reception issues: Unfortunately, there was never anyone at the reception desk during my stay. However, there is a phone available to contact staff. Limited kitchen essentials: Although the hostel has pots and appliances, it lacks basic kitchen essentials like cups, plates, and cutlery. No towels or bathroom mats: The hostel does not provide towels or bathroom mats, which would have been a nice touch.

Loved the location at the beds. I stayed in make 4 bed room and would definitely stay again.

Check in was a little rocky. I'd given them heads-up that I was getting there at 10pm, it's best to have cash ready for $100 AUD deposit on keys because I was told using a card could take 1-2 months to get money back and that is wild to me. I also had to prove I had paid and then after showing it I had to send it again via text and that felt a little unnecessary.

Two rooms sharing one toilet is excellent as it was more convenient then a big communal one. The fridge sharing concept is also convenient.

Friendly helpful staff, good kitchen facilities and food storage space inc. fridge. Comfortable beds and desks and wardrobe in the room. WiFi was more usable.than the reviews suggested, not perfect but worked ok.

No air con for hot days but we did get a fan. Not a lot of information for travellers in the form of leaflets etc. Quite a small hostel with a number of students staying there made it a different vibe to other hostels.

Very nice staff. Good wifi. Everything was always clean. Comfortable beds.

Kitchen is closed after 11 pm. Don't leave your cutlery to dry next to the sink. People might just take it.

Staff was super friendly and lovely. We originally were due to move out but had to extend another day. So when we had to change room, the staff made sure to help us store our luggage while we waited to check into the new room later that afternoon.

Frendly host and kind service. Good shared kitchen for clearly instruction about using and cleaning. Shared labeled locker and refrigerator for everyone that everyone get his own fair share. good.

Room is pretty small to put the luggage, and there is no place to dry my towel in the bathroom.

A very quiet and chill hostel. Staff was friendly and it was compared to most hostels very clean. And it's also pretty affordable.

I like the location.

I don’t like that it haven’t air conditioner in the room

Perfect Cheap and central
