This is the best hostel I have ever stayed, compare to the other ones I stayed in Amsterdam and Rome, this is the cleanest, biggest and most comfortable hostel. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to use, dining room is very spacious as well. The room is clean and we have a huge baconly for take a 'breath'! If I have another chance to Canberra I am gonna stay here again.

The facilities are very good but isn't the best place to socialize. The prices are are high and everything you charge you. No rooms to lugagge, necessary to pay lockers.

Reception staff with attitudes. Rooms not cleaned sufficiently. Filthy and ill-equipped kitchen. Not a positive atmosphere.

Reception staff with attitudes, garbage can in room emptied three times in ten days, filthy kitachen. Uncomfortable atmosphere. YHA Canberra overcharded the HI-contracted accommodation price in EUR by 18 AUD.
