론서스턴 백패커스 - 호스텔

This was the worst hostel I ever stayed at. It looked like a prison, the sheets were dirty, the blanket wasn’t even a real blanket but some foam thing, it smelled bad in the room and there was a smell of weed in the common areas. The bed was uncomfortable, the top bunkbeds had no railing around them. It creeped me out and I did not feel safe there. The check-in was easy, I did not see a staff member though and the reception was not occupied even though I got there at 5 pm. The location is good. It’s directly in the city centre and you can walk to all the shops.

Was okay, the building is a little run down and rustic and it felt cold, the kitchen was dirty. But the showers were hot, people were friendly, most of them working in construction/ factories/ farms. I felt overall safe and okay! :)

Check-in service was excellent with a very professional manager. He arranged for a very safe location for my bike, made sure I had everything I needed. The hostel is opposite a park and seemed perfectly safe at night, and a quick stroll to restaurants. The stay itself was probably what you’d expect at a backpackers - pretty dire. Two hours of sleep between when the partying outside my room finished at 230 AM and the 430 AM commencement of people making breakfast in the kitchen next door. Showers are dilapidated and not the greatest cleanliness. All this said, if you want a place to meet people and party and a really cheap rate per night, this is the place for you. Noise and party levels will depend on guests and on how booked out the place is.
