Like: Garden and quirky endearing Villa. Showers ok. Bed was ok. Free basic breakfast but as no milk was provided only bread jam or toast were possible. Dislike: Thought we booked en suite but only a double was allocated. The advertised free shuttle to ferry was not available and hasn’t been for years. Spa out of order. Kitchen was filthy - sticky floors and not enough tea towels so the three or so were soaking wet. Hardly hygienic. Very little space in fridge and no freezer. No spare key held by hostel, so if you locked room and forgot to take key (or lost it) you were locked out permanently. Very noisy in morning due to heavy long running port infrastructure improvements and an inconsiderate family making loads of noise before 6 am as they were leaving!

Pros: -Great location, super quick walk from the ferry and cafes -friendly atmosphere -good sized private rooms with sink -nice garden area for relaxing -great value for money Areas for improvement -people were quiet but the nature of the building means if anyone arrives late it’s quite loud due to the wooden floors and thin walls -kitchen wasn’t well equipped - no baking trays, foil, salt/pepper, which was a bit limiting if you want to cook for yourself.

Nice stay, conveniently located. The spa pool wasn't working very well and they were a little short on dishes and cutlery in the kitchen, but other than that good facilities, enjoyable.

The old charm of the interior. The outside of the building may need a coat of bright paint. Room should be provided with a stand-alone cloth hangar for winter jacket and bath towel.

People in the kitchen opposite my room banging around then talking until 11.30 until I went out and the shut the door. People then up at 6am on a Sunday banging around. Cheap and clean but noisy thoughtless guests.

Close to the ferry The window has no stay, so it banged in the night and the room was very hot.

We definitely pulled the short straw with our Standard double room. The 2 other Standard doubles next door to ours were luxurious compared to ours! They had spacious rooms. Ours was cramped with hardly enough room to even walk round the bed! Very disappointed. I know it was cheap accommodation but I feel we got a poor deal in comparison with others. Everywhere was shabby and desperately in need of a lick of paint. I wouldn't recommend this accommodation unless you were young backpackers who were happy to share a dorm with 5 others and didn't care about the surroundings! I would certainly look at other backpackers accommodation in future.

Hi, We greatly appreciate your feedback and help us improve. For us the most important thing is the comfort of the guests. We are very sorry that the accommodation was not to your liking, but the bedroom was recently refurbished and has a large double bed just like the other private rooms. We will be happy to see you again. And thanks for helping us improve.

They messed up my booking, clearly stated that it was for 4 guests. Unfortunately they only booked for one which meant that we no longer could be in the same room. We we're lucky to find alternative accommodation but when i requested a refund since it was their error they said they would need to get the manager to call me - still waiting on that call, still waiting on that refund. No issue with the actual property etc. It all looked very good and the staff were pleasant enough.

Hello, We are very sorry that this happened to you and apologise for our mistake. I am the manager but have not been told by my staff about this situation. If you could contact me directly through our email, I am sure we can organise something. Kind Regards

Cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired
I arrived and none of the beds in the dorm were made - the dirty sheets from previous guests were still crumpled up on all the beds and there was a trash can full of rubbish that hadn't been emptied. Floors hadn't been vacuumed. Had to ask at reception to get fresh sheets and a bed made. Sheets, doonas and pillows and curtains are SUPER OLD. Like from the 80s/90s :( Please use pillowcase protectors on your pillows - they only put a flimsy old pillowcase over a gross dirty old oil-stained pillow. Place is generally cluttered. All doors were locked at reception the next morning and my keys didn't work to get in and check out.

Typical backpackers with some quaint touches. Sadly though this was selected as the cheapest place with cable TV in the room. However the TV was missing and when mentioned to person on the desk they just smiled

Not the best
Initial impression was of the smell walking in. Generally the place is fairly shabby and cleanliness could be improved. One of the staff used their key to enter our room at 1am waking us up. The excuse was that their colleague made a mistake at check in and that the room said there shouldn’t be anyone staying in it. We were not impressed. I would recommend finding somewhere else when staying in picton.
