Stunning building, nice n friendly atmosphere. There's a room of 'long stayers' here, so there's always sommat going on in the evenings, i.e. DVD night, BBQ etc... Outside gets locked at 10.30pm so that there's no noise as it's in a residential area - which was perfect for people who were actually wanting to sleep in the hostel rather than just party.

I loved this hostel. One of my best so far. Nice & homely & friendly, plenty of space in the 4 bed dorms, properly stocked kitchen unlike many hostels I have stayed at & volume down at 10.30pm to still get a good nights sleep. They have just got the little things right. HostelWorld Review by swhateley, 07th September 2008

Thw Witch's Hat is very clean, there are great laundry and internet facilities, the beds are confortable and while there are opportunities to have fun, there is a clear respect for the choice as there are boundaries around noise late at night. HostelBookers review by Eileen 3/5/08

The Witch`s Hat is like a hostel should be. Friendly atmosphere, good common facilities, action if you like it or a quiet night if you prefer that. And it`s not that far from the city centre: Even if you`re not such a fast walker, you should be at the station in about 15 min. Petra (from Germany) 6/5/08

Great hostel, lots of character. Well set up, lots of room, a quick walk to the downtown, even closer to a great bar/restaurant district. Locking gates, friendly staff, and very clean. Had a great time there. Cheap internet, great tv lounge area. HostelWorld review by Cory - 30 April 08

What a hostel - arrived intending to stay a week, stayed 3 months - did some night managing - think we did a pretty good attempt on the record for the most complaints from the local neighbours, and I was almost always involved!!!). Kinda looked after the place in Jan 05 - Kev took over night managing duties (and had no complaints... humph!)... them were the days! Being back home and working sucks!

do you remember me?? Johanna, german chick from (very messy) room number 10, September till December/January?? I just wanted to say bye to you and Australia cause I'm flying to New Zealand tomorrow! I loved Australia so much and it's really hard to leave but I will surely come back! Guess where I'm gonna stay then?? Right! The stay at the Hat was the best time I had in Australia and I will always think back and have a smile on my face! It's pretty much the best hostel I stayed at so far but I reckon you already know that... Anyways, you'll get a THUMBS UP! from me! Keep up the good work and take care! Lots of greetings, Johanna PS: So, about the Sticky Date Pudding: Do you have a special recipe or is it just your magic hands that make it so good? :-) email from Johanna, stayed September 07 until January 08.

Hopper, the manager was very friendly & helpful; lots of travel info available. Not far from the free city CAT bus stop. Would definitely stay there again & will refer the Hat to others! HostelWorld review by Cindy
