Ok, so we chose this place because the location was good, price was right & reviews pretty good for budget accom. A number of accom options hence the Hostel moniker. We had "deluxe" private rooms apparently! Staff great, helpful & friendly, tried their hardest BUT the product they are working with needs a lot of work. We (6 pax) ended up staying for 5 nights mainly because we were out each day on tours etc & it was convenient, but in the end it wore us down & we couldn't wait to be out of there. Biggest problem was the dampness & persistent probs with aircons & remotes that didn't work (very unhealthy & we weren't the only ones to comment/complain). Plumbing also a major issue. Bathrooms awash, no floormats, leaking sinks and bath tubs. Linen was clean & changed daily but threadbare & one only small towel each barely adequate. Plaster & paint peeling off the walls; step into the bathroom came away each time it was touched.
Breakfast very basic, but the young lads who served were fun & friendly & did their best. Has a lift which is very welcome. If you used the stairs you were competing for space with boxes, ladders & all manner of clutter, & it was always dark (I slipped & hurt myself badly). Thank heavens there wasn't a fire. Health & safety inspectors in Aus would have a field day. I think Expedia and others listing these premises need to check the accuracy of info because what you see in the pictures is NOT what you find upon arrival. We wont be back.
