Staff not the friendliest but efficient. Kitchen wasn't really clean and I preferred not to cook there. Unfortunately only cold water in one shower. The facilities to do the laundry are not ideal - no hanging lines to dry the clothes. It still was clean enough, spacious rooms, lockers with power plugs inside. Great location!

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.
