The place is great and cheap. You have a very big tv room and kitchen, with 3 fridges and 3 cookers and all the amenities. The rooms are quite big ( I stayed in a 4 shared room) and clean, the bathroom could be cleaner. The wifi is good and available free in all the room after you pay 5... more

...well, yea, the website looked good. I don't know why I stayed there for the three nights I did at $62 a night. It was a complete sheethole. There was not one single thing that was not dirty, run down, or broken. You think you're going to fall through the floor it creeks so much. You have to battle the... more

This place is the epitomy of backpacker crash pad. It seems to have all of the amenities - DVDs, in-house bar, kitchen, etc but the place is just run down and not well maintained. The fridge was filthy and the bathrooms were worse - there were actually massive hairballs in each of the shared showers not to mention about an... more

We found this place through our VIP membership booklet, which advertised free Wi-Fi. We chose it mainly for that reason, but when we got there, were told they no longer offered that service, even though the business cards they had displayed at reception clearly stated "FREE WI-FI". There was a Pickled frog Wi-Fi network, but they refused to give us... more

The other reviews on here seem to be pretty grim, but I thought the place was quite decent. Friendly/hot reception staff, very cheap beers at the bar, and the room (6 bed dorm) was clean with a good mattress and pillow. I didn't spend any time in the communal kitchen or lounge room during my 2 night stay, but my... more

Our room was clean and beds were comfortable enough, my friend & I booked a twin room and got a room with a bunk bed and sink. The room needed to get a small table, we were left to scatter our belongings all over the floor. The water on one side of the sink was coming out a funny brown... more

We spent an awful January night here. Our twin room stank and did not have a window to the outside. There was no air and no AC and it was absolutely boiling. The place was full of drunk kids. The communal areas were filthy and the facilities were woeful. To top it all, my girlfriend was greeted by a huge... more

Really awful - staff was rude, place was filthy, beer was the central theme, partiers loud and vomiting into the morning, and a contest to catch the rat in the kitchen (no joke, winner gets a six pack of beer). STEER CLEAR of this place unless you're 18 and think alcohol is the coolest thing ever. And the staff... why... more
