My first experience at a backpackers - enjoyed the vibe and the staff were super helpful. The cafe has excellent coffee (that’s coming from a Melbourne coffee snob) and breaky at affordable prices.

Cozy hostel
I really like the vibe at Arts Factory Lodge! It is a beautiful, cozy, friendly and artsy place with a lot of young backpackers. It can get a bit loud at times but there is loads of space and a big kitchen fitting many chefs at one go. Also loved the morning yoga! The dorms only have one ceiling light, no individual lamps or power sockets and the wifi isn’t very good in the rooms. But all in all it was a good stay!

Helpful staff, vibrant atmosphere,
Helpful efficient reception staff, helping me to find a bed in different rooms for the remaining three nights when I had problem with the room for the first night. Vibrant atmosphere, with some organised daily activities. Bed was fairly comfortable. Toilet and shower were tidy and reasonably clean.

Beautiful hostel with good vibes, the room was perfectly clean, quiet during the night, the bathrooms were ok, the shared kitchen is big, well equipped and pretty clean ! Very hippie vibes, a little bit to much for me but it’s very personal :)

Everything was excellent, the painting was lovely, apart from a small down side which was that the property was not sound proof and it was very noisy at night.

Worst night’s sleep I have ever had - guests being very loud and noisy at 1:30am. Shower facilities not very clean and furballs floating around in the room under beds and behind the fridge. Couldn’t wait to get out of there
