Great hospitality and cosy atmosphere
Stayed at Narrara overnight, in summary was very impressed by the owner Mo's kind hospitality. He assisted us in every possible way he could and more. Rooms were large and cosy, kitchen had everything we needed to cook ourselves late snacks. I recommend staying here, as new management sure know what they are doing.

Smelly, dirty, and rude
Dark, smelly, unwelcoming, dirty. The staff were rude and less than helpful. All they were interested in were taking our money. I particularly didn't like being called girl. When we complained the owner told us he owned two other hostels in Hobart and he knows what he is doing. So beware when you book a hostel bed in Hobart, it could be his! We left as soon as we could find an alternative place to stay.

Rude owners
Unfortunately this was our first port of call in Tasmania and we were greeted by the most rude man I have ever come across! He was hiding in a pokey hole and when we finally found him he did not look like he wanted to budge from his seat. When it came to paying I was told that they only accept cash, and not being advised this at the time of booking I did not have the cash on me. The next day our credit card details were taken and we were advised that they would not be responsible for the amount that they would take if we did not return with the cash. A bit harsh given that the mistake was one of their own! It's a shame because the hostel could be nice if it were not for the rude owners, I would never recommend it. I am sick of traveling around Australia and being greeted by staff in hostels who seem to think that they can treat you like second class citizens!
