Overall, if you're staying in the winter, ask them to turn on the heater before you check in, as it takes a long time to warm up the room. John, the long-term resident, is really great and helpful—he makes everyone feel at home. Thanks, John!

Shared bathroom was always very clean, kitchen was useful, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Great location, just had a bit of trouble getting them to send through details for late check in and the shower I used didn't heat up, but another one did.

I was woken continuously throughout the night by girls in my area and two were sleeping in one bed. I found a man passed out and asleep on a landing, who had spilt a can of alcohol on the carpet. I was quite disappointed with clientele last night.

This was the most disgusting and poorly managed hostel I've ever experienced. The bathrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 20 years - mildew, grime, and hair all over the floor and walls. Same with the rugs and floors. The kitchen is absolute chaos. Management is completely unresponsive and uncaring.

Reviews older than 6months are very much out of date. Rooms are clean, bathrooms freshly remodelled and overall it's a quiet building.
Location is its best quality and there is no elevator so zero accessibility options.

This place needs a serious cleaning. The floors and carpets were disgusting. I would never go barefoot in this place, especially the bathrooms.

This stay was my third. Considering the tariff the place is excellent value for a downtown Hobart location. The wotif prepay made the check in process seamless. A phone call to check on a potential booking problem (my fault) was handled with promptly.

Room 108, brightest light from the carpark next door shining through all night. Two curtains would be helpful as opposed to one that doesn't quite cover the window. Room was still being cleaned when we arrived, was hoping to drop our luggage off and start exploring but had to wait. Reception hours are a bit strange, closes at 2:30pm, generally people check-in after 2pm so we felt that was a bit odd. Late check-in has to be organised 24hrs prior to arrival. Even though it's on the less expensive side, I still don't feel like you get what you pay for. I've seen better facilities at camping grounds. Next time we'll know better :)
