Fun in Hobart
It’s very funky and fun. Building is a little old and it’s not that close to downtown. Great fun if you like hostels (and I do)

Great for backpackers
I enjoyed my stay, it was a friendly dorm, clean and offers daily activities which I found was really useful if its your first time in Hobart.

Friendly atmosphere but unreliable free tours organised by the hostel. I booked a tour 3 days in advance with them and they cancelled my trip on the day because my friends and I were not ready in the lobby at 9.30am but we were there at 9.33am instead. Ridiculous excuse. As apologies, they booked me for another trip and 11.30am instead and they were 15min late for the departure. No apologies from their end as they didn’t care at all to ruin my day

Room was quite dingy, staff lovely, kitchen facilities good. Clean sheets which was nice. Not bad over all double room was a little expensive for what we got.

Good sociable hostel
Good hostel with good atmosphere and service and common areas. Could be a little cleaner though, the kitchen was pretty nasty and full of flies.

Thanks for your review. We now have the kitchen cleaned 3 times a day and we have installed a machine to remove all the flies! Safe travels.

Staff extremely friendly and I enjoyed the free trips that they provide if you stay over two nights. Convenient location for walking to the shops, marina or buses to and from the airport. Good amount of communal space to chill.

We stayed in the apartment, the staff was friendly. The room is kind of old, but the whole experience was great.

Great character place
Stayed here to attend a fundraiser event nearby, as I live outside Hobart. Great staff who are friendly and helpful, a place with real [Frog related] character, an internal bar and cafe/coffees and the room i stayed in was warm and quiet.

Hobart Great green hostel
The Pickled Frog hostel in Hobart has a great vibe. Well situated in the centre of Hobart. Close to all the ammenties and Hobart sites The Bus station was just down the street and the Salamanca shops and eateries only 10 mins stroll away. Plenty of room to relax and chill as well as a pool table and a library.

Best Week Yet
I've been in Australia for nearly two months and despite several flaws this place may have it was my favourite week. Get the bad news out the way first... The kitchen was not up to scratch. I wanted to give it a good clean but it would likely be a mess again the next day. But it's a hostel so it's guests that do this, I guess. Still, hot water often not working and flies invading didn't stop me from cooking some good food!! It's a hostel at the end of the day so any other imperfections can be passed by. Because the people made this place what it was. I think the staff have a lot to do with it but the entire hostel was filled with great people and everybody helped each other with stuff today. By far my best experience so far!!

I GOT BITE BY BED BUG FROM HERE!
Bathroom and the room I lived in was not so clean, and I GOT BITE BY BED BUG!

Response from Jon on 5 Dec,2018
Thanks for your review. We have had nobody notify us of any bed bug related issues in a long time. Bed bugs usually travel around in guest bags and backpacks, rather than live in hostels. We do take any issues with bed bugs with the upmost of seriousness including shutting rooms down and fumigation, but you may want to check your bags and your prior accommodation Thanks for your review, Safe travels.

excellente auberge !
Placée à 5/10 minutes à pied du centre, les chambres sont confortables et propre. Les parties communes sont propres. Il y a pas mal d’espaces pour s’assoir sur des canapés ou autour d’une table. Un personnel extrêmement accueillant !

Auberge décevante.
Douches froides et sales. Cuisine : même pas la peine d’essayer d’y trouver un espace et un endroit propre pour cuisiner. Bruyant. Bien placé
