The place is very clean

− Doesn't feel like an hostel, more a 2 stars hotel. The common area is always quiet and with not so many people around. The balcony and the rooftop same. I mean a hostel is a place where backpackers.wanna socialise and there isn't activities in the hostel for socialise.

The bed was really comfortable, and I really like the communal space that provides enough stove tops for a lot of people.

− Overall, the room and facility are clean but there is a lingering smell. Australia is safe in general, but still there were a couple of times the locked gate to my floor was left open, which is not too reassuring for a hostel. This is not a BYO hostel, which felt strange to me but the alcohol is generally affordable.

1Fのラウンジエリアに友達を呼ぶことができた レセプションで無料でタオルを借りることができる 全体的に清潔な方だと思う 立地の良さ

− 部屋数に対してキッチンは小さめな印象 鍵がリストバンドやテンキー式ではなくカードキーなので、失くす可能性が高い
