The room was very small, and the noise from the garbage trucks early in the morning was extremely loud. It’s quite different from the YHA in Sydney — the gap is huge. I hope the management can learn from their Sydney counterparts and improve the overall experience.

I'm a loyal YHA customer and find hostels very convenient when traveling solo. However, this time the experience wasn't great because I happened to arrive when there was a concert nearby. The price was more than double the usual rate, which made it really bad value for money!
