Shingo's Backpackers

If you're familiar with the backpackers style of accommodation and have little to no standards/requirements, this is a place of good value for $25/night. Still, the cleanliness could be a bit better - remove the cobwebs, clean the kitchen and bathrooms properly, so there is no smell or flies around. The location is right in the city centre with a bus stop nearby and many places to go.

Good location, but unfortunately it is the worst hostel I have seen so far in all of Australia. It is really dirty! Dust and mold on all surfaces

This is the normal hostel and not the hotel. Service deserve to its’ accommodation fee. There are 12 fire stove to use. I could cook everyday, sharing space with other residents. Only defect of this hostel is hostel owner’s personality. She sometimes decide whether or not she will accept new residents into this hostel based on their nationality. If you don't have chance to know her personality, you can keep peace in your mind.

the worst managers I've ever seen! They spy on your every move and prefer to welcome people from outside rather than people who want to extend their stay! The showers and kitchen are very dirty, but the rooms are pretty ok

Bonne auberge nous y sommes restés une semaine, les chambres sont un peu rustre mais nous avons rencontré beaucoup de monde super sympa. Les cuisines sont un peu sales mais elles ont le mérite d'exister. Je recommande quand même le lieu.

For the price i have to give 5 stars. But yes it is still a hostel and yes it is old and dirty. However, i liked the common area, there is many sofas and tables. Kitchen looked good as well. The manager is lovely and caring and so were the guests. Very respectful and quiet, it is a small hostel and felt like a safe environment. Did not enjoy the dorm itself. It was packed with stuff from long term residents, hard to find a place to put my backpack. Couldnt find a power outlet. Mattress was bad, could feel every spring and the pillow seemed old and outworn. So, you get what you pay for. If you are on a tight budget i would still recommend

I’ve stayed in hostels across Europe, Asia and Aus, this hostel is by far the worst one I’ve ever had the displeasure of staying in. The place is absolutely falling down, spend the extra 100 quid a week and stay in Tequila Sunrise or Base Camp.
