Liked: Location was fantastic, about 2 mins walk from Southern Cross station and only 15 mins to Flinders Street station and Crown Casino.Bed was very comfortable and roller blind made the bedroom pitch black so got a good nights sleep. Four pillows on bed; 2 soft and 2 firm. Room has both a fan and a heater. All staff I encountered were very nice and professional, especially the young man who helped turn on the room fan. Check in/out an easy process. I liked that there was the security of having a key card open the bathrooms and that they were gender separated.Lockers to store bags was very handy.
Disliked: The heat when walking into the hostel was outrageous.. it was sweltering and I had to take my jacket off immediately, I can only guess it was set on 26/27 degrees? It was so hot downstairs, I didn't bother with the kitchen or seating area.Room was also hot but couldn't turn fan on as it was attached to the wall very high up.. I'm 5' 8", and I couldn't reach it even on tiptoes. I had to get staff member to stand on a chair to turn it on. Also, the power socket is very, very loose and I honestly thought it was going to drop out of the wall!Room walls were a bit grotty with hand prints smeared near the light switches. Also, there were cigarette butts on the balcony floor.. someone didn't clean properly! Wasn't worth the price.. I would have expected a kettle and mini fridge and even a chair or luggage stool to put a suitcase on.
