I'm poor at speaking English. So,I asked same things many times to staff there ,but they taught me so carefully, and even took care after that. All staff were very kind.
Takaho, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was great! Caveat – I think my room was upgraded, since they're doing renovations. Everything was clean and comfortable and I really liked the 'cabin' style bed, really offered privacy. The free breakfast was very basic but, also, free! And it did the job so it's difficult to complain. Only small issue was that due to the renovations there was noise in the morning, starting around 8:30 on a Saturday. Didn't bother me (when else are they going to do the work? Better than it going on at night, imo) but I know some people get upset about this sort of thing.

It was a 15 minute walk from the nearest LUAS stop, which is the only mode of transportation to my workplace. Apart from that, everything else met my expectations

Disappointing - lack of facilities and storage

I hate leaving bad reviews, especially when I think the intentions are good, but .... it seems that they have upgraded the hostel without actually testing it out. And there is so much that doesn't work. There was one toilet on the 3rd floor for about 30 people. That is abysmal for a modern hostel. And the toilet wasn't even in good condition. The top bunks have no shelf, ledge, any sort of place to put things like phone, glasses, etc, during the night. So simple yet so stupid to leave out and makes it really inconvenient. What are you supposed to do with your phone, glasses, once you get into bed?? There is one central bright light in dorm rooms, no smaller lights for if someone comes in late or gets up early. Again, so simple to add. It's like they forgot to ask backpackers what is needed in a backpacking hostel. There is no elevator to the 3rd floor. It stops at the 2nd. And the elevator is tiny anyways so you probably will end up walking most of the time. They are high ceiling floors, so going up to 3rd floor from garden level is like walking up 8 flights of stairs. On plus side, lovely garden area. But overall, such a shame - some small changes would make such a big difference. But for now, you will be far more comfortable in other hostels.

Convenient if they have a good price offering. Breakfast is pretty basic with no protein offering. Rooms, beds and linen are clean
Carmen Y, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The kitchen staff were very friendly each morning. The area itself is rather noisy at night as windows needed to stay open to ventilate the rooms.
steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very comfortable space with friendly staff. We had a two person room, and the beds were comfortable and bedding lovely. The breakfast is modest, but we weren’t really planning on it, so that’s fine.

Suited the purpose of my stay

Suited the purpose of my stay, nice big building, check-in was easy. My only gripe would be, it could be explained more that the address is UPPER Gardiner Street (I made the mistake of looking for it in Lower Gardiner St).
