The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk from Southern Cross Station and 3 minutes from the day tour meeting point. You can get to the airport directly from Southern Cross Station via SkyBus in half an hour. Major city center attractions are all within reasonable walking distance. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and convenience stores too. I highly recommend the Malaysian restaurant in the first alley on your left when you exit – it might be the best food I've had, super cheap, generous portions, and a wide variety. Trust me, go try it! The shared bathrooms and common areas are clean and well-maintained, with the restrooms being cleaned multiple times daily. Electronic key card access is required for every door, making it very secure. The only suggestions are that the bed sheets are a bit old and pilled, and the metal bunk bed shakes a bit. There was construction nearby at night, but that's not the hotel's fault. Everything else was great, highly recommended!

It's a big plus that there's a hairdryer in the shower room. There's also a convenience store nearby, and a good selection of drinks (for a fee). The front desk staff were kind, and bath towels were free. It was a comfortable stay.

This hostel is located in the CBD, very close to Southern Cross Station. It's an easy walk from the airport if you take the SkyBus. The beds are decent, and the common areas are okay. However, the toilets were a bit dirty. It would be better if the showers and toilets were in separate rooms.

The environment is nice. The room is suitable. Everyone has a lamp and a power outlet by their bed. The bathroom and toilet are very large. It's very convenient to log in with your phone to access the key.
