What guests think

Across reviews, The Pacific House is praised for its central location near major sights and transport and a sociable, youthful vibe, with many noting comfortable beds, while a few mention practical downsides.

Dorms are basic, with some shaky bunk frames and low clearance, and no air conditioning, though fans are provided. Cleanliness is generally good but inconsistent, with several guests praising pristine bathrooms while others noted odors, missed spots, or pests. Service is often friendly and helpful, though a few guests reported blunt or unresponsive interactions; breakfast is simple and free, and wine-and-cheese nights add atmosphere, while the kitchen can feel busy with set breakfast hours. Overall, expect a lively, simple hostel stay in a prime, walkable location.

Une équipe de gestion jeune et très sympa… Petit déjeuner correct pour une auberge de jeunesse ( the, café, céréales et pain de mie avec confiture). Une petite note négative car nous n’avons pas eu d’électricité tricoté dans les prises de courant pendant 2 jours ( pas de lumière de chevet et impossible de charger nos téléphones portables).

Hostel is nice and location is good however the building is quite old. The floors creak in the bedrooms and the hallways which adds a lot of noise. The bunk beds are a weird height, if you get a bottom bunk you can’t sit up in bed which is really annoying. I enjoyed the lounge room and study area when I need some quiet time though. The beds and linen were also comfortable and I never felt cold even in winter. No towels are provided though, they’re $8

The location was good, the price was right and the staff was great. However, there was no AC and the bed frames were very noisy and shook quite a bit getting in and out, and if you moved at all. Also, they did not supply towels, but you could buy one for $8. As far as hostels go, I would recommend it compared to what else is out there

The building is beautiful. The rooms were good. I had something drop down the side of the bed and there was an old Kleenex and pop bottle there. Kinda gross. Probably doesn't get cleaned often down there . Love the vibe at breakfast. People cooking or getting toast or cereal. Lots of chatter. Great for the younger crowd.

The room stank! it was hot and not allowed to eat breakfast at 6:55! I paid a really high price for a hostel room on new years, but the staff were arrogant and rude. Close to St James but pretty much like every other hostel except price. Not worth it.

Discriminatory reception staff. A staff member made a derogatory remark about by nationality when I was having breakfast, witnessed by the 2 people sat with me. Pathetic juvenile conduct, in breach of the Federal Racial Discrimination Act (1975) in Australia. We also had cockroaches in our ensuite bathroom.

Stay clouded by leaving my reading glasses behind (entirely my fault) but disappointed it was not possible to send a pre-stamped envelope to retrieve them.I fully understand there may be lots of items lost.... But reading glasses are surely a bit special (at my age they are!) Sadly I'm wasn't sufficiently technosavvy to organise a dhl collection. Otherwise stay excellent.

Staff are friendly and helpful when you ask them any questions. I was only there for a weekend so didn’t get to make many friends, but the few other travelers I spoke to were nice! I stayed in the Mixed room and everyone was kind and respectful. It was just a little bit of a walk from the train station and a few minutes away from a bus stop. I felt a little older amongst the younger crowd, but it wasn’t a problem at all, it keeps the vibes fun. I was out most of the time, so this place is good for a couple of days. Do keep in mind the photos shown are of unoccupied rooms of course, occupied looks a little different of course! The Christmas in July party was already in full swing when I arrived, it looked fun!
