A well located spot with wonderfully welcoming staff. Our family of 4 including two primary aged kids enjoyed playing ping pong and pool. Super convenient to yummy places to eat like The Yellow Deli across the road and Aldi, Woolworths and Big W just around the corner. A great shared kitchen, common room and dining space. Had a great community feel with fellow travellers being very considerate to each other.

A fantastic location and price point. Walking distance to everything you need and public transport on your doorstep. Easy parking options if you have a car. Staff are really friendly and social, made it feel like home while still being professional. Lots of space to relax after bit days filled with hiking and exploring!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very well located, cheap and cheerful. It's a very old property and the standard of accommodation reflects that. We had a private room with ensuite which was very dated, but suited our needs for a single night. Staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware that there is no TV in the rooms or anywhere on the property that I could see. If that's important to you then this won't suit. There are generous shared common areas, kitchen etc. It's more of a young person's venue/backpacker style of accommodation (we are retirees), but fine for a night or two if older, families etc.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: Large kitchen area for families and groups to eat. Bathroom & bedroom were clean. Cons: Unfortunately we had a sleepless night because of the heavy loud doors. From our bedroom, we could hear every time someone in the hallway opened and closed their door at night. This was pretty unavoidable as there is no way to quietly close the doors to every room/shared bathroom.

Great location, great value

We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom and it was great for a cheap price! Nothing flashy, but had everything we need. The social areas of this hostel are really good, and the kitchen is well stocked. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay close to Scenic World or 3 sisters (30 mins walk)
