I stayed here a long time ago and love to come back, it is quirky, old, nostalgic, littered with character and hidden history. Plus it is super affordable and really conveniently located.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I didn’t like because we arrived at 10:20 from Perth , they charged me $40 for the late arrival and the room were very dirty, smelly and the bedsheets and beds were disguising, they never cleaned the room. My children could not slept as the bed was dirty and they got itchy. The hygiene was very poor and horrible.

Pancakes each morning were great and stimulated friendly interactions between guests and staff. Taco the pussycat was a hit with our 11 year old. Amenities were great, generally clean plenty of room & equipment to cook your own meals. The men’s bathroom stinks, Urinal poorly cleaned/maintained.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you want to be in the centre of town the location is quite good with public transport just across the road. I had a private room bed was very uncomfortable mattress has definitely had its day, shared bathroom facilities are definitely not great needs renovation. But depending on your budget it nay just be your thing. Lots of interesting guests to meet and strike up a conversation .Staff were friendly.

This place are in the centre of the town. Walks easily everywhere. Rooms only and shared toilets and baths, however, it is perfect just for a couple who loves travelling and exploring places, not looking for a decent room. Good for a group of friends. Totally recommended to all explorers and backpackers.

Good location. People are very friendly. The carpark is in need of some resurfacing - especially in winter, when it's wet.
