I dont know where the other reviewers stayed, but it couldn't have been the Azzurro. The building was very run down, and everywere was dirty. The bathrooms weren't clean and although there were signs everywhere saying there was cleaning stuff under the sinks there wasn't any and I looked in 4 bathrooms! Luckily I was only there one night and I arrived late so went straight to bed. My room was really smelly and filthy. There were clothes and shoes all over the place. Dirty socks on the floor and a pair of trainers on the window ledge (presumably because they smelt!) And there was a large fan in the room with the cover missing. Presumably because the air conditioning wasn't working! I only wish I'd taken more pictures... but I couldn't wait to get out of there. I didn't see any staff, only a virtual assistant on the front desk. And although I checked out with her at 7am, I got a message at 10am reminding me to check out. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
The condition of the bedrooms and amenities rooms were pretty much as I expected so I can’t really complain. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and Florence who I spoke to when checking in was fantastic
Hostel has a quaint, rustic charm. I could see they’re taking active steps to address areas that need attention, such as improving ventilation. They have some problems, like lack of bathrooms, but they are offset by the price.
Showers were filthy. (That is the only day during my vacation that I could not shower.) Breakfast area did not even have clean glasses. This place could only be a last resort for the travelers “who cannot find anywhere else”. Not worth US$287 (AU$430) for the New Year’s Eve. (They did not even do the bare minimum.) Location is fine but that’s it. I regret booking this place. Period.
Stayed for 2 nights.
Reliable internet, clean.
Common spaces were busy, but ok.

Rummet var bra och badrummen helt okej. Badrummen kunde städats lite bättre. Önskemål om krokar i rummet för att kunna torka handduk osv på. De generella utrymmena finns det förbättring på, var generellt ganska stökigt. Väldigt kaos där man kunde lämna väskan. Känns som det behövs en rensning.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Not the best quality hostel. No towels which they don’t tell you. Online pictures show towels. Dirty. They did let me checkin early after a very long flight which was really nice.
Opção de albergue decente na Allen Street, 8/10.
A localização era aceitável, o ambiente era um pouco silencioso. As instalações eram adequadas, nada de extraordinário.
+ location, free dinner&breakfast, female room
- not very clean
it was good but sometimes toilets and bathrooms were not very clean; recommend female pods
I didnt expect too much from this place. I read reviews, they were different. I chose this place because of price&location. I dint find online check-in with tablet the best option, but can understand it. My room was ok, as it should be in a cheap hostel. Bed linen was clean, but no towel. There was a long queue for the shower, that's not cool. I skipped dinner, but breakfast was fine, as a usual one. Location was really good, near public transport.
In general my stay was okay.
Reported the aircon being broken 5 times in the space of 24 hours and all they did was send someone up to the room with the remote switch it on - where it would then error after 30 mins. Fruit flies everywhere, in the rooms, in the luggage storage, in the "common" areas.
