We booked and paid for a dbl ensuite room with The Carnarvon Lodge 3 weeks before. On arrival we knew straight away all was not as it seemed in the pictures we had seen on the internet, apart from smelling bad the place looked dirty and messy.The owner Anthony had a blank look on his face when we said we...

I stayed at the Carnarvon Lodge for 2 nights.I first noticed that the common room at the reception was quite messy and even unclean, but I didn't worry too much. But on the following morning I woke up with a few mosquitoes bites- that's what I thought- and on the second morning my body was covered with dozens of huge,... More

So as it was our first ever holiday away from home my friend and I were looking for some cheap accommodation. On arrival we had to wait a while for someone to greet us. We had made a phone call before booking the room confirming that we could get a room with 2 singles and a private bathroom which in... More

How on earth does this place even rate 3 stars should be minus! It is a hole, overpriced, filthy, poorly managed and no customer service. We were made to feel that we were lucky to have paid to stay in a filthy, smelly room that was crammed with old crappy furniture, absolutely filthy bathroom sink and shower, no fly screens... More

This is a truly awful place. Its marketing on the internet as a private hotel, which is suitable for holiday stays and for conference stays, is simply misleading. It is a rundown boarding house with none of the facilities or services that you would expect at a budget 3 star private hotel. The Kirribilli location is very convenient but this... More

It may be in Kiribilli, a swanky neighborhood, but don't be fooled... It is the worst accommodation you will find in Oz. Hygiene is obviously not an important consideration here. The kitchen counter tops are oily, the dustbins are left open and overflowing, saucepans are stored under a leaky sink and the storage cupboards in said kitchen have not been... More

I was trying something different as I am sick of hotels. This place was a bit disappointing. I was given a room with two single beds that at best could be described as basic - very basic They mixed up my booking and it was a nightmare trying to sort it out. To be fair they let me stay and... More

First things first, this is a hostel that offers rooms from under $80 per night.... So if you are expecting 5* accommodation dig in your wallet and pay the extra - don't expect the place to be immaculate!. My partner and I (mid 20's) did not experience any of the issues below, purely (I imagine) as we were not expecting... More

I advise everyone to avoid this hotel. Following a telephone booking the owner/manager ('Anthony' a chinese man) took my credit card details. Price was agreed upon however when I checked out Anthony had overcharged me. When I asked for this to be rectified he said "So sorry, your problem" and refused to correct the overcharge. One lady staying there told... More
