This place is about as low as you can go, on par with Bozo backpackers. Place is full of criminals rather than real backpackers. Stay away
Trashy drug addict clientele live above the pub. If they were moved along it would be a good pub for the public but for now it belongs to them
I was trying to save some $$$ and picked a cheaper hostel. I should have done some research first.
PROS:
Bar
Ice cube maker
Nice staff working for accommodation
Location
CONS:
Bed bugs
Mold
Bad mattresses
Bad pillows
No general upkeep
Female toilet doesn't have a lock
It's a shame because it's a great location and the place would have potential if they gave it some upkeep. It's my hope this review will atleast make people aware of what to expect, and light a fire under the owners responsible. Nobody should have to live like this. I don't know how they get this past the building inspector but I imagine some cash trades hands.
I took photos of the bed bugs and mold but unfortunately it won't let me upload them to this review.
Good luck.
Just avoid this 'hostel'! The reception is the bar at the same time. I had hair in the fresh sheets they gave me. The rooms are smelly, mine had a broken mirror with graffiti. Pretty much all of the walls have cracks or mould. Loud music playing all night. Bed bugs. Old/dirty cuttlery in the rooms. The shower doors have cracks in them aswell. The whole bathroom ceiling is full of mould, dirt and rust Avoid that hostel at all costs! Spend $5 more, believe me
One of the worst I have seen - this is not a hotel, it is barely a hostel. Booked a private room, took 45 minutes to get inside as the person in charge was asleep. The room was smelling disgusting, the air thick with smoke and who knows what else. The bed was not made, the bare mattress was filthy. The blankets looked just as bad especially with no covers. Then one of the unfortunate souls who was staying came by to complain that someone had broken in and stolen two laptops from his room. We decided to leave immediately. Awful, avoid at all cost
The worst place I ever seen in my life. Full of bed bugs, dirt everywhere, drug dealers, illegal people sleeping in common living room, smells like public toilet and managed by a rude Chinese baby boy. If you want to feel the breeze of living in a punk squats gon to London but not there
Backpacker scum hell hole but awesome bartender. Sad for him.
