Review of Bev & Mick's

Poor location and dirty hostel. easily a 20 minute...

Poor location and dirty hostel. easily a 20 minute journey in to the city. The rooms were filthy and the lights did not work. Furthermore the showers were cold and automatically turn off after 4 minutes! Additionally, the lights in the bathroom did not work either, so I was forced to poo in the pitch black dark!

To make matters worse, the owner was by far the most unfriendly hostel owner I have ever met. I've travelled all over Australia and Europe- staying in countless hostels and I can honestly tell you the owner is by far the most unfriendly I have ever had the displeasure to encounter. the hostel is full of aggressive signs telling you if you break the rules you will be kicked out! rules such as: no guests allowed upstairs, no talking upstairs at night , or you will be kicked out! my friend made the error of inviting a local friend to our room at about 6pm and we were violently sworn at and insulted by the owner. we truly had no idea we were doing anything wrong and were incredibly apologetic, but he had clearly been drinking and was literally screaming at us. I cannot mention the obscenities he called us, but it was every name under the sun ( some of which were blatantly racist). he even went as far as to grab the guest we had by the throat and told him if he ever returned he would "bash him".

Really awful place, trust me, spend the extra 5 a night for a better located hostel which will be far superior.

PS they give you a free beer if u rate it 5 stars, so I'm pretty positive that's the only reason anyone has rated 5 stars unless they've never been to another hostel before!!
