8/10 Very good

The inside was super pretty and they had a bar which offered food and drinks— super convenient after a day of walking or for a quick lunch.
Emma, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay there. Everyone was friendly from the staff to the people staying there. Everything was walkable very nice place to walk things to do inside and outside. There’s a theme every night so there was something to do if you run out of ideas. I wouldn’t mind staying there again.
John, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a hostel located in a park, so nicely situated. Being a hostel it's very bare bones -- nothing fancy at all. Beds were moderately comfortable. Staff seems very helpful.
Tracy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was great for a group booking, a really good price for 4 of us to have a room together. Everything was clean and comfortable, with a good on site cafe and a tram line about a 5 minute walk away. The hostel backs onto a big park as well which was nice in the good weather!

For what it is (a hostel), it is great! Staff were responsive, great location, especially around art week, and museums (if you have the time for it). Location is near a zoo Artis, so there are surprisingly unique birds clustered together.
DARWIN, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Large but very efficiently managed hostel with CV accommodations for everyone, but especially well suited to solo travelers. The facilities are generally excellent with good dining and a 24hr desk with various snacks and rental options (bicycles, towels, locks).
Alex, 3-night trip

The staffs are friendly, helpful and welcoming. The place is clean and great, awesome atmosphere! The individual pods are a great experience.
