Disgusting hostel, one of the worst I’ve stayed in (and I’ve stayed in quite a few). Bathrooms were disgusting, with mould on the ceiling and puddles on the floor. Bunk beds were rickety and felt like they were moments away from collapsing. The stairwell reeked of urine. The dorm room was dusty, dark and smelly, with roaches. One of the toilets was missing a button, so that you had to reach into the cistern to flush it. I didn’t use the kitchen or shower. I checked out a day early because I just couldn’t stay there any longer. Just because it’s a budget hostel does not mean that travellers should be subject to such conditions. At least the staff were lovely. Unfortunately that doesn’t make up for the disgusting living conditions. ##### Kathryn Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter, Brisbane 24 Mar 2020 Best backpackers ive stayed in bestvlocation best breakfast ##### Peter Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### e 7 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities スタッフの方はフレンドリーで良い方達でした。6人部屋はとても広く1人1つ小さめのスーツケースが入る大きさのロッカーがあり良かったです。シャワー室の鍵が壊れていたり固定式のシャワーのため少し使いづらい所はマイナス点です。立地、安さ重視の方むけだと思います。 ##### e Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 4 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is disgusting. There was a roach in the shower. The bathroom were so dirty I had to brush my teeth and wash my face in the kitchen sink. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ewha, Korea 3 Jan 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities 年末年始の時期で同日予約に対する値段は優しく、宿泊に費用をかけたくない人にとっては十分だと思います！ただ少しでも汚いことに慣れない人には辛いかもしれません。 ##### Ewha Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Haeun 3 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 혼자 간다면/2-3일 간다면 추천해요 호텔이 아닌 곳이 아예 처음이었고 혼자 갔습니다 총 4일 있었는데 첫날만 불안해서 체크인후에 어디 못갔지만 담날부터는 너무 편했습니다 이미 4일을 돌아다닌터라 더이상 여기저기 돌아다닐 것도 없어서 티비에 넷플릭스로 드라마도 봤습니다 사실 많은 사람들이 쓰다보니까 암내도 살짝 나고, 청결도도 그렇게 좋진 않아요(방은 누가 있느냐에 따라 달라요 저희방은 깨끗했어요) 하지만 직원들이 친절하고 여기저기 볼거리, 즐길거리를 싸게 예매할 수 있고, 수요일엔 타코데이/금요일엔 비비큐/일요일 아침엔 팬케잌 무료 같은 자체적으로 하는 행사(?)도 있어서 저는 정말 좋았습니다 ##### Haeun Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Sept 2019 #### 女性1人でステイ 男女混合の部屋に泊まったが、女性が私1人でした。少し不安でしたが、問題なく過ごせました。キッチンなどの共有スペースは少し使いづらいですが、問題ないです。朝食が食べられるのは助かりました。料金は相場は分からないですが、私は安く泊まることが出来ました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 12 Jul 2019 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities The facilities were obviously very old, there were other patrons shouting very loudly well after midnight, the communal fridges looked very unclean and smelled like off food. Additionally, the elevator wasn't very efficient and took ages to move one floor, the other patrons wouldn't handover the use of the TV to anyone else. The bathrooms had no racks or shelves to place toiletries or clothes, and the bed was extraordinarily squeaky. As well as other roommates sleeping all day long, preventing adequate lighting and a sense of unwelcomeness. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Apr 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities 共通エリア、特にシャワールームやトイレなど水回りが汚い。もう少し頻繁に掃除をして欲しい。 また、シャワーの水が冷たい水しか出なかった。冬は寒いと思う。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jackie 6 Apr 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Bathrooms disgusting, regular cleaning is needed. Noisiness from outside. Uncomfortable bedding. ##### Jackie Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### 値段と立地がgood 立地は良い。しかし、先に支払っているにも関わらず、さらに払わされそうになった。部屋、トイレ、シャワーは綺麗だが、雨漏りしていた。また、窓が壊れていたため、ルームメイトが寒さで風邪をひいてしまい、寝込んでいた。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### really disappointed the dirtiest place ive ever stayed in. the surface of floor in the dorm room and also the floor of stairways is sticky and oily. it's like it hasn't been mopped for weeks. I have always been keen on staying at hostels or backpacker hotels but this one really disappointed me. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Youcef 11 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cava Certains personel trop aimable. Domage que le rooftop ferme tot ##### Youcef Stayed 13 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Jan 2019 Liked: Staff & service #### Dejligt stemning Meget venligt og hjælpsomt personale, fedt med flere arrangementer på hostellet. God aircondition på værelserne. Pæne rene seng der dog knirker lidt. Bad/toilet mere beskidt end hvad man ville ønske. Rejseguide på stedet der hjælper med at planlægge var en kæmpe hjælp, alt i alt en god oplevelse og en god stemning 😊 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Heath, Launceston 26 Nov 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Not an enjoyable stay. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. ##### Heath Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 13 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The stay was okay. The room was clean and comfortable, only the showers and toilets could have been in better conditions. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### かちかち山, 日本・福岡 28 Mar 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 市の中心部にあるアクセス抜群のホステル ホステルは市の中心部にあり、市内の主だったところには歩いて行ける非常に便利の良いホステルです。 しかし、残念ながら宿泊室、シャワー室、キッチン・ダイニングどこをとってもこれまで見てきたどのホステルよりも汚く、大抵のことは我慢できると自負してきた私でもここだけは一日も早く出たいと思いました。これはホステル側の掃除の問題だけではなく、宿泊者のマナーの悪さも影響していると思います。宿泊室に食料を持ち込んだり、食事をしたりすることを容認しているので、放置された缶詰やゴミ箱に捨てられた食べ残しから悪臭が漂い、同室の韓国人の女の子は、私がいくら寒い、外の音がうるさいと言っても、空気が悪くて気分が悪くなると言って、部屋の窓を一晩中全開にして決して閉めさせてくれませんでした。それくらいひどい状態でした。全ての部屋に当てはまるわけではないと思いますが、お勧めはできません。 ##### かちかち山 Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Grace 28 Mar 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Near town hall and wollies The hostel is not bad in general and the washbasins iare too narrow and cannot put the face cleaner etc. Look forward to have the frame or mirror box for putting the toothpaste and cup temporarily. Also, seldom tourists will go to flash after using toilet. It is awesome that they are nearby the public transports and food restaurants. Wollies is near George street to top up Opal card. ##### Grace Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Mar 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness The wifi didn't work. Toilets were filthy & smelt like urine. Showers were often cold. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 1 Mar 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location but that’s about it.. The staff were nice enough but the room and facilities were not that great, looked dirty and like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long while ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Lydia 17 Jan 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Ca passe Pas la meilleure mais pas la pire ##### Lydia Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### mina, ACT 10 Dec 2017 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort 受付の人が無愛想だった。 その人のミスでフォームを2回も書かされた。 キッチンにはカップが少ない。 部屋のロッカーも足りてなくって使えなかった。 シャワーは完全個室だったからまだよかった。 ##### mina Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Em, Uk 7 Dec 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gross Gross, dark, stuff room full of stuff everywhere and smelly people who are basically homeless people squatting. Never heard such disgusting gobbing/retching/snoring sounds in all my life. Dirty, smelly facilities too. And nice mouldy mugs outside the bedroom door. Sleeping on a plastic pillow is also not a nice experience. This hostel is a rip off. ##### Em Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [View Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-View-Sydney.h470820.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Morris-Hotel-Sydney.h1738408.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Bondi Junction](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Bondi-Junction.h19290807.Hotel-Information) > > [Veriu Green Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Veriu-Green-Square.h33512844.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Sydney Bondi Junction by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Quest-Bondi-Junction-Serviced-Apartments.h4451632.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Sydney Castlereagh Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Oaks-Sydney-Castlereagh-Suites.h2319623.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Sydney Parramatta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Novotel-Sydney-Parramatta.h17525.Hotel-Information) > > [One Global Resorts Green Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-One-Global-Resorts-Green-Square.h36862886.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Potts Point Central Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Potts-Point-Central-Apartment-Hotel.h2005055.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Rocks by Ode Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Harbour-Rocks-By-Ode-Hotels.h40904.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Oaks-Sydney-Goldsbrough-Suites.h40902.Hotel-Information) > > [Manly Pacific Sydney MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Manly-Pacific-Sydney-MGallery-Collection.h6890.Hotel-Information) > > [The Capitol Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Capitol-Square-Hotel-Sydney.h84245.Hotel-Information) > > [The Urban Newtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Urban-Newtown.h9140131.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Mercure-Sydney.h460470.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Mascot Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Mascot-Central.h15130172.Hotel-Information) > > [Aiden by Best Western Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Aiden-By-Best-Western-Darling-Harbour.h67610514.Hotel-Information) > > [Wake Up!
