Positive: Clean, comfortable
Negative: The check in was clunky, so i called to ask what i could do about checking in as i easnt able to get there physically. The staff member told me that reception was 24/7 so I could check in when I got there. However this advice was wrong and the staff re-booked my room. That, to me was not right, particularly as I paid.

Positive: I stayed in a private queen room, and alhough I was told that there were no towels and toiletries that must be for the dorms, as I had both. Toiletries and towels supplied and room air conditioned. Room was quiet and comfortable. Good kitchen for backpackers, and I believe there are organised activities. Huge TV screen and you can use your own apps. Location is handy for Central Station and was able to find a Lebanese and Indian restaurants five minutes up the road. Seemed safe enough early as there was a show on at the Grand Electric next door. Staff were friendly but didnt know some local information in regards to restaurants locally. Maybe an information folder would be good.
Negative: I was on the top floor and there were a lot of stairs, if you are young and fit you will get your bags up there Ok, otherwise may be a bit of a struggle. Everything very technological, thought I had checked in through app, but apparenty I could not do that for my room. TV was very techno as well so could not work it. Younger people more technologically savvy would have no problems.
Summary: Quiet comfortable room in a good location, in a hostel environment.

Negative: I stayed in Room 1004, It was great but having a shower the hot water would stay on for a couple of minutes then it would go completely cold and it did it a few times
