This was a really bad hostel. Noisy, filthy bathrooms, no comfort, and less than one star.

We have stayed in quite a few places in Australia and this was the worst. Firstly when we arrived after having booked two weeks in advance, we were told there were people sleeping in our room so the four of us would have to split up -- even though we had booked a four-bed dorm we had to move beds into one of the rooms ourselves. They didnt really have any idea what was going on as the people in our room weren't on the system as being there. The rooms were dirty, dull and everything about the place reminded us of an insane asylum -- including the staff and residents -- who obviously weren't backpackers. They were there all day and seemed to occasionally work in the hostel. The bathrooms were covered in dirt and hair (not hair from your head) and one of the showers actaully had someone's poo on the shower wall tiles. Every time we went to the toilet, there was piss on the seat and floor and even once in the sink. One night a girl from another room called one of the staff to ask him to move rooms. She had already asked many times before and wanted to move because she was afraid to sleep in a room with two people who she thought were going to commit suicide. She was told to f**k off and that it wasnt important. Do not stay here!

Cheap accommodation, not the worst place I have stayed at on a 10-month trip around the world! The bathrooms were pretty gross and the bedroom walls were very thin. The staff were nice, though.

This accommodation is the worst in Australia. I tried to contact one of the guests here, and left urgent messages for him. But receptionist never passed the messages on. So I will never recommend this accommodation to anyone from now on. I booked this place for my guest, but that was a big mistake.

Actually, less than 1 star. I stayed there as an international student. The room was dirty as hell and I was bitten by ticks over my whole body. I am allergic to insects' poison; I had a 39 degrees C fever and spent over $100 for medicine. I had run away from there but they forced me to pay another a few days rent because they said I had a contract; it was a lie! Also, it was noisy as hell. The walls were so thin, I could hear others very well. Obviously, there was no privacy. I would never recommend this place.
