The place was nice and honestly a little surprising. The downstairs had a bar and possibly more (I wasn't there long). The staff was friendly and accommodating. the kitchen facilities seemed good and there seemed to be enough room in the fridge for everyone. the location in penguin is good being located close to places like Burnie, Devonport, Latrobe and cradle mountain. the bed

the dryers are 1$ per 5 minutes. The locks could also be really finicky.

Right at the heart of Penguin! I was staying in August and there was barely anyone else staying the 5th e hostel so had the whole room for myself. Warm duvet and blankets as well as towels provided. Rooms were quite spacious with tables, chairs, shelves and cheater in. Kitchen was well equipped with a lot of fridge space. Really easy to drive up and around to other seaside towns.

Some men staying in were using ladies restroom and there was only luke warm water the first night (turned hot the next day tho!).

Love the closeness Of The beach and the hotel like accommodation is great and you don't have to go far for a great meal Bass strait is right at your door step 😍🤩😍🤩😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

Nothing

A room overlooking the Ocean- Bass Straight for $30/night in a big old Hotel, with meals/ a bar / restaurant and Keno pokies downstairs is great value. I had the 65 room Art Deco Hotel to myself. It was so homely, self contained kitchen, laundry / big TV lounge / big clean bathrooms and free parking. Free Tea n coffee and biscuits in the pokies / keno lounge. ( I don't play pokies). I had a 3 day weekend in Penguin, Northern Tasmania. Not bad for a Backpackers, I say 5 Star. I will be back for Xams to visit my home state Tassie.

no tea spoons in the kitchen

Great centralised accommodation in Penguin .

Great location by the ocean. Super cheap rates in a big old 2 storey hotel, with a great atmosphere.

I had to go home.

Great location, with a decent pub downstairs and good kitchen and facilities

I was the only one there when I stayed!

Hostess was very helpful with our questions. Nearly had the whole place to ourselves this time of year.

Awesome location, awesome staff, awesome town. I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you so much.

Location, view of street, dorm room to myself, hot water strong in showers, room close to bathroom, 2 tv rooms, balcony.

Many foreign fruit pickers & farm workers in kitchen late at night and others noisy on return from their work leaving heaters on & stove facilities on.
