Nice Hostel, places to sit and eat downstairs, the kitchen is a bit small for how many people are staying here. The hostel is in a good location

Good location, but can't really sleep well at night since roommates might snore which is inevitable. Maybe stay for one or two nights is fine. Or you sleep at daytime when everyone's out.

safe for solo travelers and location wise near on the Southern Cross Station where I had my Skybus going to the airport, You can cook your own food there so I save a lot from buying foods from restaurants

Very happyThe reception staffs are very nice especially the male staffs and take good care of you but the cleaning staffs are not very friendly and the female staffs are a bit fierce and the room downstairs is noisy all night long every night. It would be great if there is a time limit on weekdays. Will definitely go back with family + friends.
