Joanne

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was a pigsty both inside and outside. There is broken furniture and crap everywhere. The kitchen benchtops were all cut and damaged. It was more a mens hostel than a backpackers. The room I was given was dirty, and the toilet had been used. There were hairs in the sink and ants crawling on me in my bed. There was no blanket. I had to use the second bath towel for warmth. The lady running the place was nice but I was very uncomfortable there. Flyscreen was damaged and also for my safety I had to sleep with window closed. Shower was dangerous and scalding hot water spurted out from behind the hot water tap handle and burned me. I couldn’t possibly rate this place any lower. They should have paid me to stay there.
Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2022
