How is Aussie Way Lodge rated?

Aussie Way Lodge Reviews

Aussie Way Hostel is small and friendly. It is in a great location for visiting the city sights and has some great amenities, including free Wi-Fi throughout, and a pool! There are also laundry facilities for a small fee and limited free car-parking spots. The many rules include a strict no-alcohol policy and not being too loud, as it is a residential area and curfews; however, you can let yourself back in at night with your key.

The Location

Aussie Way Hostel is located about a ten-minute walk from the Roma Street main bus and train terminal. Leave the station on Roma Street, and turn right, then right again, under the train track and then take a left up a little hill. Just opposite, you will see the corner of cricket street. When you arrive, the reception can be found around the back of the hostel, is is not open twenty-four hours. A supermarket and many restaurants and bars are a short, five-minute walk away and walking to Southbank or Queens Street will take about twenty minutes.

Rooms and Bathrooms

There are mixed/female dorm rooms located in the main building and more private rooms in a separate building located behind the pool area. Rooms are spacious and clean and have small individual lockers, a sofa or chairs, mirror, and plenty of power points. It is a secure hostel with individual keys and a lock-up at 10:30 p.m. There are clean female and male bathrooms with hot water, although it’s a challenge to get the temperature right.

Common Spaces

This hostel is great for seating areas; to start off, there is the kitchen with an oven, microwave, gas stoves, and plenty of cupboard spaces, and although small it rarely gets busy, as the hostel itself isn’t big. (The additional building for some of the superior private rooms has its own kitchen.) Tea and coffee are free all day. Walking back out of the kitchen, there are bar stalls and sofas with a TV in the room, book exchange, and many sight-seeing leaflets. Outside, there are more table and chairs. In the same building as reception is another TV room with lots of sofas and Netflix! The pool area has lounge seats and is just perfect on a hot day. Finally, upstairs there are some more seats on the landing and a balcony area.

Summary

Despite all the rules, this hostel feels like a home away from home; it is a great place to meet friendly travelers and is great value for your money. It is unlike most hostels in that it doesn’t organise party evenings and other social events, but instead provides a relaxed stay for backpackers or those on their working holiday visas (long-term discounts are available). And with Netflix and a pool, they’ve got both dreary, wet weather days and hot summer days covered.
