Arthouse Hostel Reviews

This time we arranged a room on the first floor At night, there will be many people gathering and chatting in the backyard until between 12 midnight and 1 am Then the stairs should be wooden steps. There will be obvious sounds when someone goes up or down the stairs. In terms of cleanliness and cleanliness of the facilities, it is good to stay at this price and it can be maintained and used. There is an obvious gap when the shower door is closed and it is in front of the two sinks. I don’t know if girls go into the boys’ shower room to use it because they don’t have enough sinks.

I'm a 26 year old female who has never before posted a review, but I was so shocked and shaken up by the experience I had at Arthouse that I feel I have to warn other girls about it. I was looking for an affordable backpackers to stay at for a night after a hiking trip in Tassie, but this place is NOT the typical travelers hostel I expected. I've stayed at many affordable hostels before, but as soon as I walked into this place there were rough looking guys everywhere looking me up and down. Walking to my room there were about 20 of these men in sight, clearly living at the hostel, no females anywhere. I knew I would not feel safe spending the night here, having to walk up and down the halls through these men, never mind the old, old building and doors that could easily be breached. I walked straight back out the door and found other accomodation. Who knows if anything would have happened, but I had to listen to the strong unsafe gut feeling I got as soon as I walked in. Would NOT recommend this place to any solo female travelers looking for a secure and comfortable spot. Honestly shocked that Arthouse's reception encourages solo women to book here and considers this to be acceptable, safe accommodation for them.

DISGUSTING! We entered the vuilding and immediately a disgusting smell of dirty feed crashed into our noses! We honestly wanted to throw up and at 7pm when we arrived there was already nobody in the reception to talk to or to complain to. My bunkbed had a chewing gum sticked on it (photo attached). At night people were loud till 1am and in the morning at 5am they were back on, behaving as if it was noon time. We complained the morning after to the hostal that did not assume any responsability, saying nobody ever complained. No compensation whatsoever, but how could we prove the disgusting smell of the building?! NEVER AGAIN. ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED.
