Angry Dodgy Hostel - Potts Point House - Sydney

Guys

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay away from this hostel. I stayed there on Monday last week (14th Nov) and I am now up to 323 bites from bed bugs! To be fair to the guy he gave me $20 to wash my stuff, but I estimate that it has cost me at least $70 in re-washing my stuff, bite spray, calomine lotion and all the rest of the things I have had to do to get rid of them. The place is infested, check out the reviews on BUG and Lonely Planet websites (i have submitted reviews as well) and you will see.

STAY AWAY, you have been warned.

Ouch, bed bugs... well i thought I'd recommend a better hostel in Potts Point, check out the Bernly Private Hotel... its really friendly, great staff and has a really cool roof top that you can hang out on and have a few drinks!

Thier website is here: http://www.bernlyprivatehotel.com.au

Have fun!
Brad.
