Figtree Hotel Wollongong

Had a few issues, but...

Liked: The location was perfect for my particular visit. Close to friends who I came to visit. When it comes to staff, they were very very helpful. Gave me the rundown of what to do when checking out. It was a tad unorthodox to exit through a backdoor at later hours, but that's what you expect for a backpacker hotel. Cheap and easy. Just don't lose your key at night, otherwise you won't be getting in until 10 in the morning. The television in the room had the essential streaming services. (I had to sign out a few people that forgot to, which saved their wallets. Especially those who use Amazon Prime Video.) It was alright. Not amazing; But alright.
Disliked: Breakfast isn't possible due to the fact the restaurant connected isn't open until 10 in the morning. Thankfully, if I needed a breakfast, there was a piefaced diner next door for that. (If not, I recommend bringing breakfast for yourself). The air conditioning unit made a bit of noise, but thankfully it was a constant rattle, which I thrive in white noise in my sleep. If the noise was random I'd probably have a hard time sleeping. The hot water wasn't functional for the 3 first days of my 4 day stay in Sydney, Wollongong. I'm not a picky man, so I took the cold showers regardless. But it's a hassle for those who actually needed those luxuries of hygiene. As for rooms,
