Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Looks can be deceiving Wouldn't recommend this place unless you want to share your bed with bed bugs and your room with cockroaches. This place looked ok at first, but on closer inspection was pretty dirty, the bed linen didn't look as though it had been changed from the previous guest, there was rubbish still in the bin, pretty obvious the floor hadn't been swept for a while, not even any toiled paper in the bathroom. Got worse when I turned the lights out and felt the bugs crawling on me in the bed, turned the lights on to find not only was the bed crawling with bugs but also the walls. Pulled the sheets off the bed and used my sleeping bag, mattress was disgusting, and had holes in it. Next morning staff didn't seem fazed when told about the bugs and gave me a can of spray, asked for fresh bedding, but didn't get any. I know hostels are cheap accommodation, but when you pay $70/night for a room and book for five nights, you expect it to be at least clean, and no bugs in your bed. Was pretty hot when I was here, you could hardly feel the air con. working, that wouldn't have been so bad if there had been a window in room! Don't like bagging places but then again don't like being ripped off either. The staff may not have been interested in the bugs but the health department seemed pretty interested. This place needs to be fumigated to get rid of the bugs (cans of spray won't get rid of bedbugs) and maybe change your cleaning staff, then it might be a half decent place to stay. — Doolie , Australian (2011-03-01) Ho hum. Bit pricier than a lot of the others and not worth the extra coin. Place is rapidly falling into disrepair crawling with bedbugs and grotty. No security. Weird bloke off the street ended up in my bed (while I was in it!!) and did management give a damn? The hell they did. Didn't batter an eyelid. Having said that very jolly scene and lovely people but I'd never go back there. — Taj , Australian (2010-06-24) Great Hostel -- one of my favourite in Oz fantastic place! the friday night party in the front lounge is amazing with really good djs and a few free drinks, but best part is you can BYO. not a huge hostel so easy to meet new friends and lots of gorgeous girls staying here, no strange locals, and great staff. one of my 5 best places in australia i stayed in. — Stephan , Germany - Austria (2010-06-06) Meet cracker people but the place was crawling!! We went to this hostel after seeing such nice pics on the net. when we arrived the front of house looked really well however when we were showed to our dorm i near had heart failure. the duvet and quilt were stripped so you could see the last maybe hundred people to sleep in that beds drool and slobbers! yuk! and the bunk bed had no ladders. also they felt as though they were going to collapse! the back entry is just left open at night so anyone can pop in and out of hostel! we didnt even need a key! there are four showers that smell like fusty damp crap with bins in them. millions of ants crawling in the sinks! But i must say the people and staff in this hostel make it brilliant music before you hit the town really friendly. so if you dont mind a bit of filth and the odd weirdo maybe lurking about its grand! — sarah and louise , uk (2009-06-23) Excellent Good things -- nice atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff; showed me around when I came, remembered my name even, large kitchen with oven, good surroundings; they have really done something to make you feel like home, the lounge is really good; its like you sit in a display and watch the busiest street in Nothbridge. Bad things -- loud music from the shed next door from thurs. till sun., no place to hang up your laundry. bad fridge -- the milk got sour after a couple of days. Altogether a very good hostel! Definitely to recommend. — Cecilie , Norway (2008-01-20) Five I was planning to stay at bambu for a few weeks and ended up staying for half a year. i had an awesome time. The place is beautiful and huge. it's central to the best clubs in perth and close to everything you need. I made loads of really good friends over there and i don't wanna miss it at all. — Nyx , Germany (2008-01-06) Awesome place to hang out! when you enter Bambu you already feel that this is a different place to stay. It's very stylish, all the antiques look fantastic and give the place a special feeling. Especially the kitchen is great, clean, lots of space, same for the front area, where you get to meet everybody. It's very social, you get like a family feeling, makes you feel at home and welcome. Great experience! The staff is very friendly and helpful (with job search). I recommend it very much -- best location and fun! — Theresia Lorenz , Germany (2007-12-19) Definite recommendation! I planned on staying here for a week and ended up staying two months i loved it so much. Staff are lovely, atmosphere is relaxed, but also a great starting place for nights out! Good location close to all the best night stops and near city centre! spent a year traveling oz and this was by far my favorite hostel i stayed at in that time and i have recommended it to friends! — Gemma , British (2007-12-18) Nice place to stay near the bars We enjoy much here, and make many friends, Its a beautiful inside design. Maybe a little too noise from the pub next door on the weekends but only if you go to bed early. the staff were very nice and made us fell welcome. — reack lorenz , Germany (2007-12-05) Stayed here for about a week and was not impressed at all. The place looks great aesthetically, but the AC didn't work in the rooms, the lockers in the rooms were all mixed up, with multiple lockers being opened by the same keys, and there were bugs in the room (and beds). Staff were alright (Natalie is a sweetheart), but the overall experience was underwhelming. Oh yeah, and someone stole my English-Spanish dictionary. WTF?! — The Texan (2006-12-18)
