Great location with a short walk to shops. Staff a friendly and helpful. Very busy road in the mornings which made it hard to sleep. Blinds are old and open with the fan on, curtains would have been nice

This place does not have parking... Just street parking which took us by surprise as it was advertised with parking. BUT once we arrived, we were really surprised because it was really clean and quiet. We will be back for sure. Thanks Guys :)

firstly, to reply to the automated txt you post in reply to people's reviews: we DID talk to your staff and they appeared to have limited English to understand what our problem was. Below are pros and cons of our stay: Pros Super location, well meaning staff, Unlimited wi-fi, Free breakfast, Good background music, public areas are reasonably well looked after, a welcome present of 2 "Snickers" bars. Cons Noisy rooms/paper thin walls. We had to be moved twice and we were told we were the first people to complain which according to the reviews and talking to other guests is not true. AVOID ROOMS 14 AND 17 AT ALL COSTS. First is facing never ending traffic, the second one boarders the toilet, where people bang the door day and night. Aircon IS EXTRA. NO TOWELS, except for hire $2. Our sheets were absolutely THREADBARE, you could see through them (please see photos). I haven't slept on anything like this even when I traveled in third world countries. Sheet protectors were stained. If you require people to strip their sheets to return to you at the end of their stay, be prepared what they might see. No hot water for hand washing in at least one communal bathroom. No shelves/hand drying facilities in bathrooms. No freezer-only fridge, which is acting only like a cooler. Under bed where we always check when we pack, was filthy. After a first awful night, we were told if we move out, we won't be refunded, so we stayed for 4 nights and left exhausted.

Enjoyed my stay!
Location was good. Not too far from center of city. Wifi was fast. They give you 300mb/day for free but if you follow them and review them on Facebook they give you another 1gb. I stayed in a 4 bed room. The AC was nice. The room was clean and they provide a locker but you provide your own lock. Bathrooms and kitchen very clean. Kitchen was very small. View from balcony was incredible. The tv/playstation room had very comfortable sofas and lots of movies. Service was very good. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Only stayed for one night but the staff were friendly and informative, the beds were comfortable, the room was nicely cooled and there were a nice few amenities available there (Kitchen, pool table, etc). It's just around the corner from a Supermarket, Pharmacy and some restaurants too.

Quiet, but don’t expect much
The building itself is very old. The bed was pretty crappy but I liked how the place was overall very quiet. No parties around :) Had to share shower and toilet with several rooms so it was inconvenient and the water pressure was too low for me. Good that it’s close to Coles, and XXXX brewery, also Roma station.

위치는 전철역에 멀지는 않지만 오르막이라 조금힘듭니다. 전반적으로 싱글룸 제공 이가격대면 매우 만족합니다. 다만..많이 노후화 되었습니다. 리뉴얼이 필요합니다. 한인사장님...조금더 깨끗한 관리하셔서 번창하세요.

Enttäuschend
Ich hatte für 2 Nächte ein Einzelzimmer gebucht, das Zimmer war nicht einladend und auch nicht sauber, das Bett machte ebenfalls einen schmuddeligen Eindruck. Es gibt nur wenige Bäder und für alles soll man extra bezahlen. Ich würde hier nicht wieder buchen. Die Lage ist in Ordnung.

체크인 순간부터 체크아웃 할때까지 직원분들 모두 너무 친절하게 대해 주셨어요~ 모르는 것도 많고 필요한 것도 많아서 리셉션에 자주 가서 도움을 많이 받았는데 그때마다 항상 친절하게 알려주시고 도와주셔서 감사했어요. 키친에서 요리 해 드시는 분들도 많고 조리도구나 그릇들도 많이 구비 되어 있어서 요리해먹기 좋았습니다. 여자화장실은 변기와 샤워실이 합쳐져 있는데 겹치는 시간들이 없어서 혼자 이용하기 편했습니다. 버스 정류장과도 가까워 시티에 나가기도 편했고 걸어서도 10분?15분정도의 거리라 걸어서 잘 다녔습니다! 아주 만족스러운 게스트하우스였습니다ㅎㅎ

Klein, ruhig und gemütlich
Die Zimmer sind ruhig, die Ausstattung ist normaler Standard in dem Budget. Die Küche ist ein bisschen klein, aber gut ausgestattet. Die verschiedenen gemeinschaftlichen Aufenthaltsbereiche sind gemütlich. Bäder und Toiletten gibt es nicht so viele, war aber für die Anzahl der Gäste unproblematisch. Sauberkeit war in Ordnung. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ein einfaches Frühstück ist inklusive. Außerdem gibt es die Möglichkeit, (kostenfrei) Gepäck einzulagern, auch für einen längeren Zeitraum.
