| If possible, I wanted to borrow the key for the locker. | ||

| Good hostel. Free lockers if you bring your own padlock. Or buy a lock at Reception. Good cooking area. WiFi expensive. Rooms clean and don't smell (big plus). Showers good. Location amazing. Huge social area (but it doesn't really promote interaction with others because it is so big!) Staff could be a little friendlier, but they were friendly regardless. Would stay here again. | ||

| A TV in the double room would be nice, especially when it is raining outside. | ||
| 15 Apr 2011 Yasuharu, Japan | 50% | |
| The Australian Youth Hostel is good in facility. But the room and toilet or the shower room is sometimes dirty and there is no paper. The light is automatically off in case of taking shower. The roommates are all elder people, so they were snoring and getting up at night to pee. Some man used a milk bottle as a chamber pot during night.
I think Canadian or European Youth hostels are excellent. | ||

| the cost of lock room is quite expensive, the travel agency at the corner is much cheaper. | ||
| 24 Mar 2011 Kam Chuen, Hong Kong | 70% | |
| No free internet and can not complete with far east countries. No TV in each room and the TV room is not good as well. | ||
