They say you get what you pay for, but that's not the case if you book the Snowy Mountains Hostel. The website advertises a public bar, bistro, and pool table, but none of those were available during our stay. They say there's an indoor pool but we couldn't find it. We would have asked reception where the pool was, but it wasn't manned, at all (the website said it would be). There was a sign at reception that said "call this number if there's no-one at reception" but no-one answered (well someone did eventually). The website says they have WIFI, and they do, but only in the sad, lonely unmanned reception area. The TV didn't work. The rooms were dirty and dated. The bed was uncomfortable and the linen looked dirty. There were only 2 power points, I had to unplug the heater to boil the kettle. Overall I can't express strongly enough how much I hated this hostel.

Terrible place to stay for the price. Haven't seen anything worse than this Australia. Rooms were most likely constructed in early 20th century and zero modernisation took place since then. There wasn't even a single chair or stool to sit on. So, basically you either have to be in your bed or stand up all the time. They didn't even bother to put 2 bottles of water. No kettle or tea bags, no toaster, no microwave and just nothing at all. You are basically paying for the bed only. Bathroom door was broken and waving in the air. No wifi and breakfast was terrible as well. Restaurant chairs were steel chairs which perhaps were cleaned month ago. At $350 per night I'd give it 0 rating if that was possible.
