I would never wish anyone the experience we had in this placê. It should never be called lodge for backpackers or whatever.. we have never been in a such a placê like this.. despite being in backpackers places in many other countries. Even if it was for free it would be expensive. Unhygienic room and bathroom, the hygien paper nearly to finish and even dirty, toilet leaking water, the shower not heating enough to bê warm as it was Winter. As it was not enough the room was terrible freezing. In some point my husband ask for a bath towel (there was not in the bathroom) the ‘staff’ gave us a small old bath mat..( it would be better say ‘we don’t provide any’ ). Kitchen with no glasses, no cutlery.. At the end as it had too many things to be pointed and staff not receptive at all.. we decide to survive that night and go anywhere else the day next.

I could not find the guest house booked on the Booking and found myself without accommodation. This hostel was not far away. The girls at the reception were nice, the price was very low. The hostel is very conveniently located across the street from the center of Rosebank. But the conditions are certainly modest. The furniture is battered, the floors creak. It's cold at night. There is a kitchen for those who want to save money. The Wi-Fi was working fine.
