Great place
First time in a capsule and it was just great. Everything was fine apart from one guest that had feet almost as smelly as I experienced in the war. No way the management can be expected to be feet police. Ha ha.
Great place. Great staff. Great location. Seriously

The management has successfully cultivated a culture of polite and considerate behaviour from guests.
We found everyone to be helpful and friendly. It was quiet from 10pm until fairly late in the morning.
The #86 frequent shuttle bus was a great surprise and quite a bonus. We didn't need to use the car at all in the 3 days we stayed.
Convenient and comfortable venue.

Facilities with pool and sports well set up along with kitchen
Quiet and well supervised
Only the dark crammed small room with basically three bunks along wall no artificial light to see even in daylight to pack up bags
Plus other two bunks far end with no hang up space or locker just some non specific shelves with people's mixes up items
Toilet shower turn around size in together so could wait to gain access
I got dressed and repacked by pool amenities

Staff were available 24 hours and were very friendly and helpful. Great location.
However, the single room I had didn't look like the one in the pictures. It had a bad odour but got cleaned the next day. Not worth the money I paid as I paid for a 4-bed private room thinking I was paying for a single-bed room.
Quite noisy but understandable.
Overall, ok.

The backpackers is in a great location (walking distance to Convention centre etc) and good value. I was in a private room with private bathroom. Unfortunately the bathroom was not well cleaned (hairs on the shower wall etc), but the rest of the room was fine.

No aircon as advertised. Only runs from december until February. Had a fan but it was loud and sounded like it was going to expload. Couldn't fill water bottle in room as the sink was tiny small. Rooms were hot both day and night. Bright side beds were half comfy.

The staff wouldn’t let the person I’d paid for and noted on the booking in because they wanted photographic ID. I paid last minute for my friend because they had become homeless that night and despite explaining that and offering my Id etc to the staff they refused entry. Poor experience and I would have thought a hostel would be open to having someone in if others could vouch for them and even offer up their cc.
