Please note that this is really a hostel and really 2 stars. Very small rooms, everything is very old, the mattress is terrible, I do not know what it is made of, but after it the whole body ached. Bed linen in lint, synthetic, as it is highly electrifying. In general - clean, but it does not save the whole situation. Very thin walls, if your room is near the toilet, you will hear all the sounds from there. Breakfast is very meager: boiled eggs, bread, cereal, yogurt and a few toppings. The dishes are old, chipped. On the plus side, it is the cheapest option in the center of Victoria. But if you are used to any comfort - it is better to overpay, otherwise your vacation will be ruined. I booked for 2 nights, but I wanted to escape at first sight.

Nice clean hostel. The street around is a little sketchy, but the facility feels safe and I felt good with a gated entrance to the upper floors and double locks on my doors. The free meals and drinks are nice additions, and I appreciated that we were able to check in early and keep our bags in the storage once we’d checked out.

Had a single bed room and it was perfect for what I needed. I arrived late due to a delayed flight and unfortunately missed the nightly drink offer and dinner. But breakfast was really good, great spread of options.
