People really got the spirit of staying at a hostel, super polite, quiet and respectful all the time. It was the first time in my entire life that I spent an entire week at a hostel and I didn't heard a single noise during the night.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Probably the best hostel I've ever stayed in my life. The absolute best community of bunkers who respect each other's experience, well organised pantry, super chill and well-meaning owner. I LOVED IT.

    The hostel is great. The bed was very comfortable, the dormitory room size was decent and they provided all the facilities that you would need for a short stay. The lower bunk beds even had privacy curtains which you could pull across when sleeping and a small shelf and charging point near each bed. The location is very convenient and a short walk into Hobart city centre and close to the Salamanca market. Good value for money. I would certainly recommend this place to other travellers.
