Good location. Hostel atmosphere is awesome. The upper bunk is hard to climb and lack of hot water for shower.

Good value for money. Friendly staff and it’s really a great place to stay as it is located in the city centre. Also, Murrays coach station is pretty close.

Very clean, modern and comfortable. The staff customer service is very excellent too. Very happy to stay here. The location is the best, it's in the heart of Canberra City next to Canberra Museum, Library and Theatre.

It’s a perfect place to stay. everything is nice, receptionist is friendly. Big kitchen and have rice cook. You can take some free food. Location is near Canberra centre, super market, shopping mall. Near bus station to airport. Worth to stay if you visit Canberra.

Good location. The bed and toilet are clean. Just noisy if you have to stay at the same floor w the play room. 🤣

Amazing hostel! It's very clean and stylish. There are comfortable lounge areas on each floor and a terrace where friendly games and gatherings sometimes take place. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. The beds are comfortable with nice linens. There are several showers on each floor, and the water pressure is great. The staff at the front desk are incredibly helpful and friendly. It's within walking distance of the city center and a main bus and tram hub, yet the neighborhood is still quiet. 10/10!
