PodBed Coogee Beachside

Exceptional

Close to the beach, but...

Liked: The only good thing about this place is its location — it’s close to the beach. Sadly, that’s about it.
Disliked: Our private room was placed right in front of the bathroom, so every noise could be heard clearly — very uncomfortable. The showers had visible mold and were not well cleaned. The kitchen had only one working stovetop, which is unacceptable for the number of guests staying there. Cooking was a nightmare.There was constant noise at night from other guests, with shouting and loud laughter. People smoked weed all day in the patio, and the smell filled the entire hostel.Worst of all, there was a serious security issue. A stranger from the street entered the property because someone left the front door open. As a woman, I felt extremely unsafe — this person came to our room and knocked. Staff later confirmed he was a random man trying to buy weed. After that, they posted his picture and finally started keeping the door closed — but it was too late.It was a terrible and stressful experience, and no refund policy means there’s no accountability either.

Bad

Hostel with a very good...

Liked: The location from Coogee Podbed is absolutely amazing! Foodstore, coffee shops and some good take away are right in front of the Hostel. The Busstation for the city center and the airport is near by. The hostel kitchen is small but good equipped and has big fridge. There are many toilets and shower.Our room was small but tidy and we had even a shelve and a desk where we could put our stuff.
Disliked: There were a lot of young guest and sometimes the toilets look just gross and in my opinion they needs way more cleaning attention from the staff. Nobody wants to sit in the morning in pee from es stranger.
