The team here at the hostel are the most welcoming, friendly, and helpful bunch. I felt really looked after while staying here, both from the staff and the other volunteers that are carefully vetted by them. I only have great things to say and would absolutely volunteer again.

I had a fantastic experience volunteering at this hostel doing housekeeping shifts during the day. The work was clear well structured and nicely organised with everything explained properly from the start. Ash is an absolute gem she is kind supportive and always willing to help creating such a warm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels like part of a little family.

Great place to stay and perfect location to explore the hostel suburbs as well as easy walking distance to train/ tram/ bus services. Ash was welcoming and supportive. The other volunteers were lovely and friendly. Lovely place. Cosy rooms and the sunday waffles were an added bonus!

What an amazing experience it was to work as a volunteer in the hostel! The staff, fellow volunteers and long term guests quickly became like a big family, which really helped me feel right at home in the hostel. The work is clear and well structured and Ash, being the greatest hostel manager, was always very attentive, helpful and kind. I worked mostly as the hostels Night Warden, which consisted in 3/4h night shifts, and the responsibility to attend to the guests needs throughout the night. I only intended to stay for 1 month but it turned out to be an unforgettable 4 months experience!
