We stayed there for 3 nights. Lamrock Lodge is located only 200m from Bondi Beach in a very quiet area. Near shops, restaurants and cafes. Close to bus stops to other beaches or city (15min). One way bus ticket to the city will cost you 4,60AUD$ per person. Female staff was helpful as well as cleaning staff in the morning.... More

Sheets were dirty, bed bug bite all over which is grim, 4 toilets which aren't too bad but in a house of about 100 people not great, sink in the room was horrid fridge smelt horrid, my room door lock snapped in my hand which meant taping the lock open so we could get in and they didn't seem to...

I don't actually know where to start, but me and my friend have been travelling Australia for the best part of the year & have been quiet fortunate with accommodation etc as we have family and friends here.

I understand the definition and idea of a 'hostel' is cheap, basic, budget accommodation but as far as I'm concerned that's not a reason for a 'hostel' to be a total hell-on-earth experience. I was booked in for 4 nights - I stayed for one, and even that was out of pure exhaustion. The Lamrock Lodge is on a dark... More

I know, I know- its a backpackers, I get that. However $80 a night is not so cheap that my sheets should not be washed. All I expect from backpackers is an attempt to keep what they have clean- its almost expected the building/room itself may be run down but unwashed sheets are unacceptable- I barely slept because I was...

First and foremost I would like say to everybody who is complaining like crazy: stop it! It's so unnecessary. If you don't want to have to complain, go to something that is called a HOTEL. You know a hostel is very basic and may not always live up to your standards. I was more annoyed by all the people shouting... More

Ok, so, im not gonna be as passionate about how bad this place is as other reviewers but i will give an honest account of when i stayed here.... Dirty bathrooms with hair all over them, Dirty bed sheets sitting outside my room door from morning until the next morning, very very rude and abrupt russian lady on reception who... More

Why oh why did I do this to myself? I am not a hostel person and it is because of the places like that. It is dirty, poorly planned out (20 rooms that each have at least 2 people inside use 3 toilet/ shower stalls). There is no AC. Rooms smells funny (not in a nice way). No parking if... More
