The location of the Hostel is incredible! Right im the middle of the city next to great locations like Hard rock! I had a great time there, despite bad reviews of the staff they showed me respect, when being alone, the aroma and feeling of community of the hostel feels amazing, always having someone to talk to like my new friend Abdullah and other members of the hostel! This is truly an amazing gem and would stay every night if I could

I asked to be changed to a solo girls room and the staff was very kind. The room was spacious and the sleeping very comfortable, you have everything you need.
Some of the other male guests looked not pleasant, but that has nothing to do with the hostel, and it might be just my perception. The cleaning of the common areas was not exceptional but again, too many people were using them I guess (kitchen and living room, toilets were fine).

Location.
Lots of permanent non travelles. Not too clean. Lost a suit with tie and shirt which i left on a shelf in the room which apparantky disappeared according to staff. Not sure if this was true as there was only one other in the room. Anyway. The staff were very unsure how to look fir it and dud nit seem to care much about it. Not the best place to stay if you an honest good traveller. Too unclean and poorly managed by the day staff. Night staff were more accommodating I think.

Great location. Clean. The staff are very patient. Guests are high needs in terms of flexibility and often don't have a lot of financial options.
Price was a bit high owing to the Taylor Swift concert. Regular price is competitive, but still expensive - that's life in the big city. I'd forgotten that shared dorms are a bit smelly.

The location tram is free to ride in the area along Elizabeth street to flinders and down flinders
There was no elevator service to climb three floors with your belongings you have to go up and down at least twice which would be much easilier with elevator was available

Very good pricing for the location, you get to meet a lot of different people. The staff were very welcoming on arrival.
Getting used to the lock on my door was a little frustrating as it would stick, I was always so concerned I was going to wake everyone up in the room when I came back in late in the evening.
