Kangaroo Inn

The staff is really nice and helpful

Everything eles

Construction noise all day hard to relax

Excellent and warm counter staff. Location within 5 mins walking distance to cbd and shopping street, attractions and even the bus stop to the airport. Facilities easy to locate and there's even a reading room and pool table. Toilets bright and well maintained (none of that moudly grimy stuff you normally see on the floors). Rooms extremely well furnished with a personal locker compartmetns, hangars, shelving units and a table and chair. Towel, laundry provided and air con was very easy to control. Rooms are bright and had personal lights at each bed.

Not that they could have controlled this, some patrons were quite noisy at night (though the hostel did provide complimentary ear buds). Also toilets had 2 shower and toilet cubicles - so time your visits, but not a major issue. Patrons also tended to leave towels and stuff lying around the toilet, but again out of hostel's control. My room had a musty smell which disappeared after turning on the a/c.

The property was good - and the showers were amazing!

The other guests - some appeared to be semi-permanent residents, with clothing, shoes and toiletries strewn all over the room. Couldn’t walk from the door to my locker without stepping on items, or having to clear a path.
