Am I a little aggravated and more than a lot tired as I write this, sure. But it's how you'll feel if you stay here, so you should be warned: Stay away, stay far away.

It's a backpackers, I get that, it's not the Ritz Carlton, or even a road side motel pay by the hour, I know there's going to be some accommodating on my part, prepubescent clientele aside this place was horridly noisy. Not because it felt like an unmonitored day care centre but because our room was situated next to a bathroom, which it seems most were. Every door in the place is heavy and has metal locks. Now, once your reach a certain level of maturity, or are the youngest of 3 boys, you learn that slamming a door causes others around you a level of discomfort. All night, every few minutes the door would slam, the locks would click. Moments later the door would open then slam again, heavy handed teens with no sense of surroundings.

But I really blame the establishment. At Bunnings you can buy fabric strips that stick to the inside of a door decreasing the sound a door makes when closing by very noticeable margin. You can even get doors that have hydronic thingys up the top, which stop a door from being slammed, then close it quietly.

It's true the location is great, and the room we had (220) was a nice corner room with a good view, and the bed was comfy. As they say "you get what you pay for", when you book a room what I'm really wanting though is to be able to sleep, so even if I paid $1, I wouldn't have gotten what I paid for. The people were nice, but I think they know who to ask and who not ask if they enjoyed their stay upon check out. We did not get asked. If only we had. A little vent at the check in desk may have been enough for me to let it go.

Note: unless you're a backpacker who wants to drink, not sleep, meet others who hate math class and think Harry is the most over rated and Louis is the worst but you still love #1D, then you'll enjoy it!
