Boardrider Backpacker & Budget Accommodation

Where to start! If you value your life, do not stay here. This place is a genuine fire and health hazard. After working the stair maze (as the lift is not usable and just a storeroom); you will have your room. Room: untidy, dirty, electrics faulty, beds made of tin and rattle. Once you get past the bed bugs and cockroaches, there’s cords running all directions power boards on more boards. The fans were rusted, no AC, no mosquito nets on windows. Bathroom: so dirty, I just walk across the road the public bathroom to number 2, no way was I touching it. No soaps, doors don’t lock, used and bloody bandaids to great you at the door. Common room/kitchen, furniture order then manly itself. The kitchen was such a mess I just didn’t bother. Food hygiene was clearly not a priority, raw chicken left out, dishes everywhere, counters, fridges and storage just packed with crap. Rooftop: so disgusting, tread lightly, or avoid, no view either. 1000s of cigarette butts on roof, drainage areas, bins etc. this place has had no love since Colonisation. Fire exits: in the high likelihood of a fire, don’t use the emergency exits, they all blocked, be prepared to jump balconies to the bar next door. People: this people attracts all sorts of people from the back packers needing cheap to the crazies that make this place unwelcoming. This place needs a good demolition and a reset asap. Do not stay here!

I got Bed Bugs in this hostel! Everything is so dirty and smelly. Also realized this is a place where people live in! 4 days there and never no over had cleaned the room
