Hostel Watch : Sydney - Side

Check out the view, you get what you pay for i guess

Bondi Backers : looks kinda funky and retro but pretty bog standard actually ..

As has been mentioned in an earlier blog in recent times I have seen some "Hostel Time", so i have decided to do a sort of ratings blog, hopefully if/when i get to move around this massive continent i can add to it :

I was in two hostels last week in downtown Bondi , Bondi is the number 1 tourist beach probably in Oz not because it is some sort fo fantastic place(it most definitely is not) more because it is the place everyone has heard of and would usually be crammed full of Irish/Eng/Scottich and every other kind , luckily for me this is downtime so i had my choice of establishments.

I think when rating a hostel, in all honesty you really are only looking for value for your dollar so on that basis i am going to rate on price/hyigene also bearing in mind i was in a single room on my own and then give a comment on the overall package

I spent two nights here : Beachhouse

Room: Excellent Room, with a view of the beach

Hyigene: Excellent couldn't fault it, showers and toilet facilites well upto scratch

Price: $70 per night a shocking price

Comment : While everything here is excellent the price is geniuely awful, if i had stayed all week there it would have been just under $500 , for that price i could have stayed at the four seasons in the city.
Because we are rating on value for dollar i will have to stay this is stinking, simply as that.

I spent 3 nights here: Bondi Backpackers

Room : Okay, No View (see pic)

Hygiene : Okay (one of the two showers was broken just aswell there was no one around really one shower between god knows how many people on a floor in peak season would be diasaterous)

Price: $35 per night an excellent price

Comment : while not really of the same class as The Beachouse the price for 3 nights was excellent and you can't say fairer than that.
