    The kitchen is very small, so during communal feeding hours, it's extremely tight.

    Location is good for sure, and the price will be hard to beat for what you are offered.

    - the bathroom was most of the time dirty, I guess because there are not many bathrooms for so many people - it is really busy, it seemed like a lot of people already knew each other and stay there long term which makes it hard to meet people

    +the beds are really comfortable +the breakfast and dinner is really good

    The toilet is so small, you need to squeeze yourself into it in order to shut the door behind you. Same goes to the shower room.

    Free breakfast provided. Kitchen and lounge are connected so you can still cook some meals if you want to.

    There are only two restrooms on every floor.

    I enjoyed the half board service and the position (at a stone's throw from T4 Kings Cross).

    I stayed there in winter and it felt like it was freezing cold in the hostel 24/7. They also only provide you with thin blankets instead of a warm duvet. They also ventilate the hostel most of the time which made it even colder. I stayed there for almost two weeks and caught a cold because I was freezing so much. Another minus point is the security. Not only that the front door of the hostel was broken and just stayed open even during night time but they also put the PIN code for the dorm rooms on the OUTSIDE of the dorm door after they had changed it. My friend felt really unsafe because of this and when we confronted the staff they firstly seemed to not care about it and only when we stayed consistent agreed to change the code one more time. So we didn’t feel as they would take our safety concerns seriously. And you should not be afraid of cockroaches when you stay in this hostel. Although the hostel and all the dorms get cleaned daily, you will come across cockroaches not only on the rooftop but also in the dorms and the kitchen area.

    The hostel has an amazing price-performance ratio. The big highlight is that they provide you with food twice a day - dinner even gets cooked freshly every single day! The hostel is located very close by to the botanical gardens and it takes only around 30 minutes to walk to the opera house. It is a very social hostel, most of the guests stay for long-term because they are doing work and travel. Overall it has a really friendly atmosphere.

    During the breakfast and dinner time it was very crowded and packed at the ground floor. Do not expect very healthy meals or something special, but for the price and a short stay the served food is good and you easily can connect and socialise.

    The beds are very nice with extra light a mirror and enough space to store things, the roof terrace is very cool and bathrooms mostly clean

    On the downside, the hostel offers very limited storage space – both in the rooms and in general. If you're traveling with more belongings, it can be a bit of a challenge and requires constant reorganizing. The sanitary facilities are also a bit worn – some areas suffer from leaks, mold, and doors that don’t close properly, and there's a slight lack of them overall.

    The staff was very helpful and clearly put effort into making guests feel welcome. The sleeping pods are comfortable and offer a good level of privacy, with convenient built-in power outlets. Having breakfast and dinner included in the price is a great bonus – it adds a lot of value for money and is definitely a reason to consider coming back.

    The room was small and the air conditioner was quite loud, and I wasn't offered a big hug on check out which was stated in the checkout email and barely any room to eat food

    Curtin on bed made it much more private nice breakfast and dinner

    lots of people staying long term on WHV, so not easy to socialise when you are travelling and want to exchange experience. The only BIG minus is that people staying in long term are vaping, smoking electronic cigarettes like it would be their own living room in the common areas, even if it is prohibited in policy

    comfy bed, staff, option of the cooking your own

    all hostel is mainly full of people looking for job on WVH, all of them french and spanish speakers only, what can be advantage if you want to improve your french or spanish 🙃 however, it is not social hostel to exchange your travelling experience, 80% of the people are living there, so it is kind of big brother watching you life experience :)

    comfort of the bed, amazing location, clean,staff was nice

    The building is pretty old and you can see it. Some renovations may be needed, especially in the bathrooms. There aren’t many toilets for the number of people staying on each floor. During the weekend it can get noisy.

    The staff is super friendly and it’s great to have breakfast and dinner included! The rooftop is great! Perfect to have dinner or chill during the day in the sun. For the price is a very good deal.

    The storage spaces don't lock, and the room only has a small window which means very little daylight and limited ventilation

    Really good price, especially since breakfast and dinner are included if you are there for the time window; excellent location in the city
