I hated this place, I had to suffer 10 days in this dump. We would have left straight away if we could have gotten our money back. The management and the owners of the hostel are horrible people that don't care one bit for they're customers. I heard them arguing with customers everyday. I wish this place would close down...

First off the "free pickup" was 2.5 hours late after I had to call 4 times. I checked in at 12pm and paid for my 6 nights that were booked. Their website said to provide 24 hours prior to any cancellation. I was shown to my "room" which I could barley stretch my arms across from wall to wall. There... More

Arrived at Bondi shores over new years, the host was very very unwelcoming, making us wait hours to check in when he clearly wasn't doing much at all. Our rooms were at best average, the kitchen was small and there was no common room or lounge. The manager kept saying he wanted no drama from us throughout our stay, but... More

I didn't expect much from the hostel, but I was expecting it to be clean and tidy. The place is a dump, not fit for humans. The bathrooms are dirty and moldy, locks broken in the toilets. The rooms are dirty and the electrics look very dodgie, the fridge in the room is covered in dirt and the back is... More

We stayed a weekend in this hostel. The service was really good and helpfull. Every time we saw the owner, he chated with us for a while. This was really nice! The location was good, short walking distance to both beaches (Tamarama and Bondi).The dorm was clean and good sized. There were also a mirror in the room which is... More

Upon entering the hostel, we were not greeted with any sort of organization or reception. Extremely rude communication from a 'Ralf' who I assume must hate his job if he speaks to all of the travelers as he did to myself. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone. More

Where to start.. On new years eve we arrived at the address of the hostel and all we saw was a smelly old pub and adjoined liqueur store. We eventually found the unmarked entrance through the pub itself. As soon as we entered we were confronted with the smell of old beer soaked carpets. After continuously wondering around the deserted... More

This is the worst place I have ever been in my life. Like most backpackers, we were attracted by the cheap price, but seriously, you can't put a price on your own safety! I would much rather have spent an extra $10-20 a night, and had a door that locked, no dead cockroahes or toenail clippings on the carpet, a... More
