Don’t come. Staying in your car overnight is even a better decision!!
The worst hostel I’ve ever been. Drugs and addicts wandering. Dirty floor and dirty bed, dried blood and plenty of dust on the bed. Not expecting a perfectly clean room as it’s a hostel, but it’s still way too terrible. Not mentioning its price is not cheap. Also it was super noisy. People were singing and shouting at night so loudly that nobody could sleep. We literally walked out and stayed in our car at the end.

I enjoy this place, it was built in 1849 as the name of the place.
The room is simple, with 1 window, 1 fan, 1 table lamp, no TV. However, there is a common area with Books, TV, Table Tennis, Board Games, etc
There is also a common kitchen with all the pot and pans. The best of all, free Pancakes for breakfast.
Location wise, this place is walking distance to town centre, very convenient.
I deduct 1 star is because the place is a little old, and need some repair on certain areas, like some shower cubicle door is broken, gents urinal flush is leaking, kettle needs replacing. If you can get pass those minor defect, this place is fantastic

This place are in the centre of the town. Walks easily everywhere. Rooms only and shared toilets and baths, however, it is perfect just for a couple who loves travelling and exploring places, not looking for a decent room. Good for a group of friends. Totally recommended to all explorers and backpackers.

Big hostel with good communal spaces, well equipped if disorganised kitchen. Free pancakes in the morning were delicious. Bed was very squeaky.

Thank you for your feedback Alan. We're sorry to hear it wasn't to your standard. Everything gets cleaned twice a day every day, however its hard to keep it 100% clean when we occupy 50 plus people daily. We are a backpackers that mainly serve the likes of 18 to 35 year old's who do socialise, so there is a bit of noise around however we have a 'quiet after 10pm rule' that we in force every night. There are plenty of 3/4 star hotels in the area, perhaps one of those would best suit the next time you stay in Albany. Regards.
