If your priority is proximity to nightlife, this is the place. It's more of a hotel than a "real" hostel in my opinion. Reception was quite often closed and you would have to contact the staff in the bar of the hotel — great if you need something on a lively night! The kitchen is not all that bad, but the management is definitely relying on you choosing the meal deal downstairs (which is probably alright for the price of $6, but you have to buy a beer (surprise!) with it). So if you are more interested in good kitchen facilities and very clean bathrooms and showers, where your clothes don't get wet while you shower, and proximity to the beach and hostel atmosphere.... Well, then this is not the one to choose!

Shuttle bus??? I was told I had to walk from the train station. This is a great party place if you don't want to sleep at night and enjoy loud music in your room 24/7.

This place has the best damn shuttle bus driver in Australia, Sam Macaskill! It's a lovely place to stay, and it has good food as well.
