Sydney’s most disgusting hostel.
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.

Best backpackers ive stayed in bestvlocation best breakfast
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
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.
