Very convenient due to its location and well maintained facilities. Spotlessly clean!!. Amazingly nice and helpful staff. Clean rooms although mine was very cold. Quiet and lots of spaces to chill and relax. Very close to major PT stops and stations. I’m a regular guest of this hostel and I like it there

Excellent location, and great price-service relation. The kitchen is outstanding and well provided, the bathrooms are always kept in great conditions. The rooms are reasonable in space, a little too hot on summer nights, and each bed has its own curtain and plug light for privacy and comfort. The staff is super friendly.

Definitely value for money but is not for anyone that’s looking for more than just a space to sleep. Oh, breakfast is rather disappointing, just cereal, milk, coffee & tea. I reckon you save $14 and get a warm sausage roll and coffee instead with that money.
