Liked: The fact that it kept rain off of my head.

Disliked: The staff seemed confused and useless. The facilities were run-down and not clean or well maintained. The hostel did not provide more than a sheet to keep you warm at night and was located in a difficult to access location. Most cab drivers missed it the first time around and if you didn't know exactly where you were going, you couldn't get any help finding it.

Liked: The beds were pretty comfortable and they showed European Fotball in the common room!

Disliked: Very bad and unsafe area, hookers and drugdealers everywhere in Kings Cross. The hostel itself were dirty and too many people in a small area. Staff barely spoke english, don't understand why staff has to be forreign..

Liked: Against other similarly priced hostels we stayed in, this hostel was comparatively luxurious! The room was a proper room with a lock, and even contained a TV, fridge and fan. It was light and airy. The location was relatively central, being a short walk from the city and harbour. Good facilities and helpful staff.

Disliked: There was a lot of noise at night on some nights. Not *quite* enough bathroom facilities for the whole floor. The cleaners just walked in every morning to change the bin... didn't knock and didn't walk away when they realised we were in the room.

Liked: Stayed in a double room, which seemed to be the cheapest one comparing to the hostels around. The room was more than we expected nd other services satisfied us as well.
