Clean rooms, friendly staff, free breakfast. Only stayed one night. Located directly at the biggest road which you don't hear if your room is in the back. Very good: Nearby supermarket, Bus station is nearby, walk to centre of town in about 10 minutes. BUT: We were charged a booking fee for having booked a trip to Kangaroo Island by... More

I've stayed at millions of hostels throughout my travels and this one was far and away one of the best in terms of cleanliness and value for money. We stayed in a private room which was MASSIVE. Lots of shelves, big window etc. Communal places i/e kitchen, bathroom were also very clean as cleaned well daily by staff. They also... More

Clean, quiet and friendly. Has a bar but it only stays open until 10 which was good news. Easy walk to the city centre and free bike hire. I would stay here again. More

Nothing is ensuite, but the toilets/showers were clean and... More
