It was cheap and very close to shops in west end. Showers were cold in the morning. And bathroom floors were wet in the night time, easy to slip over. Staff were very nice and helpful. Bed was comfortable.

Overall the place was ok, however because we arrived late we did not see any staff, and were not told how to access wifi etc. The room qas good, but as we were closest to the front there was a lot of outside noise. Sheets werent the cleanest (had hair stuck to it).

Cozy and quiet place
-The manager was so kind and friendly. He is so approachable that I could always ask something in person or call to the reception when I need help. - The room and common areas were kept clean - Good option for those who don't know this area or new to Australia, because the manager explained the transport, access to some major areas, how to find a job and so on when checking in. - Earlier check-in time than other hostels

Convenient but basic
The stay was good value for money, not a party place. Kitchen and bathroom was a bit dirty and rooms were messy.

洗面所、シャワー室の清潔さがなく、電気も途中で消えたため、困った。シャワーも固定されており、水圧も弱いので、洗浄が満足に出来なかった。

概ね快適に過ごせました
アーリーチェックインに快く対応してくださいました。女性4人部屋、室内に小型冷蔵庫、鍵が掛かるロッカー、サーキュレーター2台。バルコニー、コンセントはやや不便。トイレ、シャワー各3、男女共用。シャワーの水圧はイマイチ。水周りは、清掃はしてくれていますがすぐに汚されてしまう。。。キッチンは家庭用サイズなので、混雑しがち。長期滞在者が多いが、皆さん親切。

南ブリスベンのイベント会場には近いバックパッカー向けの宿
スタッフが常駐しておらず、チェックイン時にフロントの電話で呼び出して英語でやりとりをして呼び出す必要があり30分くらいかかった。また、冷蔵庫が機能していなかった。 エアコンがなく扇風機だとかいう点はホステルとして別に文句を言う気はないです。

便利で快適なホテル
ローマストリート駅から列車で1駅のサウスブリスベン駅からまっすぐ10分のわかりやすい場所にある。市街に出るときもホテル横のバス停からシティーホール横まで簡単に行ける。スーパーマーケットも徒歩圏内。共用の洗面・トイレ・シャワー・ダイニングキッチン(電子レンジ・調理器具・食器あり)は清掃も行き届いていて快適。階下にランドリーもある。部屋には冷蔵庫がある。宿泊客は女性が中心の少人数でこじんまりとしたホテルなので静かで快適。
