Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Nice facilities, rooms a bit tired and staff very unfriendly and rude! I was traveling in Tasmania with my mother and her friend. I booked early in advance a room for just the three of us. They had messed up our booking and we had to stay in a dorm. That was fine by us but we only booked that room for a night because we waited if a room for 3 would have been free the next day as they were quite full. The old lady (owner?) came in like 8 in the morning when we were still sleeping demanding to know if we were staying in that room for another night just so she can tell the cleaner. And she didn't ask nicely but demanded. And they have 10 o'clock check out!!! The evening we came in we also got complained that we're using our cutting boards in a wrong place in the kitchen(?!). I mean there is also a nice way of telling if something isn't right but these people were just unbelievably rude. Not to mention I was traveling with two ladies in their fifties. Absolutely didn't stay for another night! — Katie (2011-01-07) Fantastic place I traveled in Oz for six months and this was the best hostel I stayed in. The staff were great and the facilities were totally five-star. — peter , usa (2009-10-06) Nice hostel about ten minutes' walk from the town centre (don't worry -- it's at the bottom of the mountainous hills!) with a Coles supermarket just a five-minute walk away. Clean and tidy. The only problem I could think of is that the kitchen, for the size of the hostel, is quite small and gets ridiculously crowded at times. Oh, and if you don't have a sleeping bag you have to pay for a blanket and sheet (only $2.50, but still!). — Jay , UK (2007-05-13) This hostel is very close all the city amenities, but we found it to be so overcrowded. the kitchen was full of flies and the floor was a mess with benches not much better and only one microwave. there was plenty of stove space. The fridges could have done with a good clean up as well. overall i wouldn't recommend anyone to stay there. — Fran Wevers and Allan Wevers , Australia (2007-04-02) we stayed here three times during our travels of Tas and found it to be a really lovely hostel. Not too much going on as a lot of peole were working but friendly, clean, and not noisy. The kitchen was really big and cleaned every day. The telly room had loads of sofas and videos to watch. Had a good atmosphere and we met a good bunch of people here. There are plenty of things to do in Launceston. The staff were helpful with booking coaches. The guy at reception was a bit odd at first but then he turned out to be alright and quite funny once you started getting chatting to him. The only downside to the hostel was the room got really cold in the winter and there were no duvets! I had to rent four blankets to keep warm but otherwise it was great. — Nicki (2006-07-09) I had an enjoyable couple of nights here at the end of last year. The double room was pretty basic and a bit cell-like, but the communal rooms were excellent. There is a large, well equipped kitchen, dining room and lounge, which were all clean and tidy whilst we were there. The bathrooms were fine and the management friendly, so overall it's a decent place to stay. — Melissa (2005-03-06) One of the best hostels that I have stayed in. It provides excellent basic accommodation, is clean, warm, and has a great kitchen in a great building. It's not too far from anything and has secure off-street parking. — Anonymous (2004-08-16)
