This is like the hell hole of hell holes. Imagine being in a skanky mental hospital, this is it!! The place is untidy. Not just untidy but dirty. It was advertised as being a quiet family run hostel. There was so much noise I couldn't sleep Til 3am and some psychotic man kept coming in my room to shout obscenities... More

Do yourself a favor and never book this hostel. Disorganized and extremely dirty. We booked the hostel online, and told them that we were supposed to arrive at 1 am. When we arrived there, surprise surprise, the hostel was closed. So we had to drive around with the taxi to find a hotel around for the night. We ended up... More

I had a great stay at city and surf. I do not understand why people give it such bad reviews! The hostel is clean and the staff are friendly. There are definitely doors on the shower rooms and the water is always hot!! The hostel offers fast free wifi which great as most hostels do not offer this and is... More

Apart from the dark dingy dirty common areas and rooms, the service was beyond appalling!! I arrived at 4.55 and even though there was a man at the desk he refused to check us in till 5 on the dot. 20 minutes later when they were finally "ready" to check me in saying they were rude would be putting it...

Its like a concentrationcamp. The reception is only open a few hours a day and they not even call a transfer for you to the airport. I worked in a hostel myself in Australia and is the worst experience i had after a year travelling in Australia. Hot rooms with no windows! No pool nothing

I have nothing good to say. Please please avoid this place backpackers, just because we are on a budget should not mean we have to live like vermin. Filthy. Everywhere. I mean really really dirty. The pillow case we were given had what looked like urine stains all over it. Ridiculously hot rooms. Small poorly equipped kitchen. Manager who checked... More
