Harbourside City Backpackers

Quite expensive for a hostel $185-200 per person per week. This is the loudest hostel I've been to, and sometimes it's the staff that's loud, not just guests passing though. Internet doesn't reach into the rooms, and kitchen is always busy, girls bathroom was quite dirty compared to other places I've been. Rooms were cleanish. Plus side is a great view, wonderful staff, eager to help you find work, and nearby restaurants and water.

Really busy hostel, well located. This hostel is mostly occupied by people that work in the area which makes it a really social one. People I've been staying together for a while so it's hard to get to know people if you are only passing by. The kitchen area was pretty messy and dirty.. Didn't make me want to cook food. The dorms were.. OK. Pretty crowded when full and not a lot of spaces for you stuff. The beds are made with metal frames which means everytime you move, you can hear it. The location is great however. Really great view of the water and close to the bank, restaurant and stores. Didn't have to go to the grocery so I don't know how close it is.

Absolutely amazing hostel! The day I arrived I felt so welcome, staff was very nice, room is great! 6 Bed female dorm with plenty of space and a very comfi bed! (I need that!) They have a huge balcony on the second floor where it is very easy to meet other travellers to share stories and experiences. Big kitchen, free Wifi and bikes to rent for Free and right in the middle of all the bars/pubs and restaurants. Best location ever! It feels like a second home to me and I will definitely be back some day. Thank you all at Harbourside, you made my stay a memorable one! I will be back!

Absolutely loving this hostel. The location couldn't be any better. Amazing views from the balcony over the harbour. Beds are very comfortable with great pillows - best sleep I ever had in a hostel. Kitchen and bathrooms are clean too. Staff very helpful and so knowledgeable about the surroundings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I stayed here for two weeks. This hostel had a very good vibe, everyone was always socializing upstairs rather than being wired to a screen. Staff was very polite, great location. Only hiccup was the WiFi only works in one general area. All in all great time, will definitely be coming back for a bit soon. Cheers!

Hostel is very clean. Lovely balcony with a sea view. Bed is comfortable. Our longtermer room have a locker and own sink and is quiet enough to sleep good. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Hostel Life is not gonna be better than this.

Stayed here for about 3 months in total now and can honestly say, that this is my all time favourite hostel. They are constantly trying to improve and provide a very good and friendly service. And the best thing are the good vibes at that place, you'll love it. Plus they have the best receptionist ever.

The kitchen was relatively clean but small and it was hard to find a place to sit down and eat sometimes . The room was simple with a view at another house and smells of food coming from an Asian restaurant. The staff was very nice and quickly reacted to questions and wishes . Overall an okay experience.
