Mountbatten Hotel Backpackers

Good location
Not a bad hostel but be sure to ask for a soft mattress if that's what you like as they have a mixture of soft and had mattresses. The hard mattresses are extremely hard to say the least. We assumed all the mattresses were the same and suffered sleepless nights on the hard mattresses only to discover out on the morning of our departure that there were available soft mattresses in our room. There was a fair bit of noise from the street in our room.

Perfect!
I stayed here for a week or so in January of 2008. The hostel was clean and a great place to meet people. The continental breakfast wasn't bad, and there were even TVs in every room. I wish there would have been a community room, but the kitchen sufficed. The showers were clean and so were the rooms. The hostel was easy to find, and close to the trains. It was also close to great shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. I will definitely stay here again the next time I come to Australia!

Well, I would just like to say thanks to all the staff and guests for an excellent night's craic during and after the Northern Ireland match against England, whom Norn Iron beat 1-0, YES 1-0!!! I was disappointed that the English lads in the hostel were in tears after the match but hey that's life!!! GREEN N WHITE ARMY!

I moved into this hostel with a friend I met whilst in another hostel over here (we got bored at the first hostel as no one seemed to mix together). When we first checked in the staff were friendly, and once we were checked in and came down to the common room we realized that everyone was really friendly. Everyone was here for the same reason, to spend one year partying and seeing Australia. I would definitely go back, just remembering the drinking out the back with the Irish lads and singing silly songs. Also my friend who checked in with me at the beginning is now the manager there.
