Paul (from England), March 2008:
Good location, but very much in the Base model of cram them in and try to get them in the bar. Had foxtel which is a bonus but the kitchen was small. If you are 19 and want to get drunk every night stay here otherwise find somewhere else.

Latest reviews

Carissa (from New Zealand), March 2008:
It was a really good hostel, nice and quiet and it was good only having a small number of people in the room (I stayed in a 4 bedroom female dorm). I would’ve stayed longer if I could’ve and the fact that I couldn’t stay longer than 2 weeks was the only bad thing about it.

This place is good because it’s not as loud as the party hostels where its too hard (or you need to be completely pissed) to sleep. Chill is great for exactly that, you can chill there.
