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.

スタッフの方はフレンドリーで良い方達でした。6人部屋はとても広く1人1つ小さめのスーツケースが入る大きさのロッカーがあり良かったです。シャワー室の鍵が壊れていたり固定式のシャワーのため少し使いづらい所はマイナス点です。立地、安さ重視の方むけだと思います。

This place is disgusting. There was a roach in the shower. The bathroom were so dirty I had to brush my teeth and wash my face in the kitchen sink.

4/10 Fair

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.

Gross
Gross, dark, stuff room full of stuff everywhere and smelly people who are basically homeless people squatting. Never heard such disgusting gobbing/retching/snoring sounds in all my life. Dirty, smelly facilities too. And nice mouldy mugs outside the bedroom door. Sleeping on a plastic pillow is also not a nice experience. This hostel is a rip off.

Needs serious cleaning
The room was very small, which we expected. The beds were comfortable enough, but that's where the positive comments end. The bathrooms and showers were filthy and the kitchen was gross. We found small bugs crawling around in the food cabinets and there were scraps in the sink drain. There were very few dishes to choose from & several of those were dirty. The eating tables hadn't been cleaned in a while. We couldn't wait to get out of there.
