Little Drifter Canberra

Great location and friendly stuffs. I didnt get a photo but i swear it was splendid

The location is great, just a 10-minute walk from the bus hub, and everything is very clean. This is the first hostel I’ve stayed at where the cleaner works at night to tidy up the common room. The room had plenty of space for everyone. I stayed here for 2 nights and booked an 8-bed female dorm. When I checked in at 1 pm, I was assigned to a 4-bed dorm on the 2nd floor. At first, I was the only one there, but a man arrived at 10 pm. I checked with reception, and they apologized for the mistake and moved me to a 4-bed female dorm on the 1st floor. I felt uncomfortable because I was getting ready to sleep and didn’t expect to share a room with a man, as I had booked a female dorm. Moving all my belongings after unpacking was also inconvenient. My second room was still a 4-bed female dorm, even though I had booked an 8-bed dorm. I’m not sure why this happened, but I wanted to share my experience to help the hostel avoid similar issues in the future.

We only stayed for 3 days so we probably can’t talk about everything this place has to offer, but here’s our input nonetheless based on our experience! Pros: -Huge dorm with lockers and a table -Comfortable beds -TV room and rooftop terrace -Paid lockers for an extra level of security -All equipped kitchen with shared fridges -Close to bus stops and malls Cons: -Shower area isn’t the cleanest especially on the male side -Carpet floor was weirdly stained in our room Overall a decent place to stay at, nothing too extra but still nice! You can get there directly from the airport via the bus in around 20min.
