Disaster! stayed in mad cat in dec 2007. it was dirty with cockroaches (dead and alive) all over the corridor floor. kitchen was filthy. room across from the night club. place looked like it was never ever cleaned at all. only stayed there cause everything else was booked out. checking out i was refused to get my deposit back ($40 for two keys) only cause the "manager" wasnt there at the time of checking out and i had to wait an hour and then she said i was late. absolutely hate this place. the worst hostel i stayed in on my six months' trip around the world.

This is the worst hostel ever. I stayed here for a while end all I can say is don't go there. Why? First of all. On their websites price is announced from 10$ but it's nothing like that, cheapest 12bed dorm was 18$/night including sh*tty breakfast and free rice, free internet, pool/table soccer, and foxtel. My room was right next to computer area (free internet but computers are very unstable and using linux. So save everything every five minutes) and right behind very thin window is located outside area where people are getting drunk and smoking. There is also a nightclub nearby so If you want just have a bit sleep, it is impossible here. Bed itself was poor. You can feel net where the martress is lying. Somebody peed on two beds, I was lucky that it wasn't my bed but my towel got some. You should keep everything with you all the times because there is too much strange people (non inhabitants) wondering around hostel and people don't lock the doors. There is no friendly atmosphere in this hostel and people has their own friends and they need no more mates. I'll give only one star and that is because of free internet.

best hostel in oz for having a laugh. enjoyed my stay so much and met so many friendly people. the staff are just as friendly as the patrons staying there. i stayed in a lot of hostels in oz but this one tops the list, clean, friendly, and an all round laugh.

This hostel is very poor and the owner's comments have not been updated in a very long time! It is currently swapping ownership and there are a lot of repairs needing done to make it habitable. Basically it needs to be knocked down and rebuilt! Do not stay here if you value your health and sanity, at least until the new owners have revamped the place.

I thought this hostel was okay for the price. It's true it was not the cleanest hostel, but it was all right and the atmosphere was quite nice.
