It was very filthy and it stank very badly. The people who work there where talking in another language most of the time. The bathroom was full of molt and was not cleaned propperly. I would not recomend this place to someone and I won't go there again.

The only good thing was the location, 5 min to the beach and restaurants. I think that they could improve the cleanliness!!!!

The lady at reception was nice and helpful. She made the effort to get the internet working. But the place was pretty grubby. No atmosphere, no common room. Hot rooms, plastic covered beds. If you can stay some where else than do!!

I had the worst time. The place is full f bed bugs. Management are so rude. The kitchen is absolutely disgustng. Hostels are better in 3rd world countries than what they are at bondi shores. If you want to get eaten alive by bed bugs and treated like garbage, this is the place for you!!

The place needs a full refurb, even with the best of cleaners it's still dirty, one of the worst hostels I've been to in a western country. Only had two toilets which were also with the showers in a small space and it felt very open and no opportunity for any privacy. Also no communal space except for a small very old fashioned and dirty kitchen.

We only stayed one night.My lady friend wouldn't sleep on the unclean sheets & pillowcases. We got bitten by bud bugs. There was no particular common area for guests to sit.People were sitting on the stairs making it uneasy to enter with our luggage/backpacks. The bed was not comfortable. The ladies toilets had unflushed/blocked shitin one &spew in the other.All the taps dripped in the mens toilets.What is take to maintain some washers.Classic toilet flusher was a wood salad fork.Kitchen cramped

by far the worst hostel ever stayed in, hostel is VERY dirty, rooms have a STRONG musty smell, bathrooms are disgustingly dirty, mould all over the floor, kitchen is hidious, dirty full of stale and mouldy food, fridge should not be opened. hotel offers free wifi which only works between 9-9. locks on door do not work but the front door is only locked at night. definately not worth the money.

I met many good people there and we had awesome time together! Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Bunk was good, breakfast wasn't but it was better than in some hotels in Paris and free. You won't impress yourself, but it hasn't been designed to be impressive.

Everything was good! People are nice and friendly. Excellent location and a reasonable price with free wi-fi and breakfast. Room was clean and fresh. Some facilities need more attention but overall is good!

I have stayed in many hostels for the past little while and I can honestly say this was the worst place I have ever stayed in. Sheets were stained, mattress full of sand, two bathrooms ( one for girls and another for guys) for the entire hostel, there was a hole under the stained carpet right by the beds and door handle was broken ( couldn't lock the door because we weren't able to open it). In top if that, room extremely hot. Location is not worth it.

Kitchen and bathroom were dirty (especially kitchen). Room needed hovering (at least). Door knobs were broken so it was difficult to close and open the door. Staff members were ok but not very friendly.

Its was dirty. the locks on the doors don't work. the internet is terrible. the staff can't speak english. the breakfast is alright. the kitchen is a mess. the water in the showers goes from boiling hot to cold then it goes scolding hot again. I could go on and on.. the only good thing about that place is the other backpackers i meet, but I can' really give the hostel credit for that..
