Most horrible hostel ever! Terrible receptionist who do not hear you but simply say: "if you don't like it, than leave". Awful dirty rooms, the brown spots were on the ceiling and wall. The paint was peeling from everywhere, the curtain could not close. We requested a double room but were given a four-seater. The double bed was nothing more... More

The guy on reception - the owner!!! He is just rude, unhelpful and a waste of space. He never wanted to talk or offer advice. When asking a question he always just replies with dunno. most of the time not even making eye contact. The taps to the sink in the room didn't work and one was completely smashed to... More

On arrival we were a little timid, the hostel appeared to be quite intimidating and after reading the reviews we weren’t expecting much. Especially as it was our first hostel stay since being in Australia. We checked in and the guy at reception was fairly helpful. We were given our room key and off we went up the stairs. The... More

I had my doubts about this place even as I was making my booking, as the girl over the phone was snappy and rude, but I went ahead despite my misgivings. This was not a good idea. When I arrived I was "served" by same girl whom I'd spoken to over the phone, who sneered her way through checking me... More

It is better to sleep out in the open than in a rat's nest. Untidy bedroom and bathroom. Dirty Bed sheets. I had to vacuum throughout the bedroom and bought some stuff to clean the bathroom. The other guests smoked anywhere and drug abuse as well. Rats around the kitchen! Cleaning personal who tell you that for a fair price... More

We were paying for a private 3 person room,... More
