The worst hotel experience. The owner Eddy takes advantage of young backpackers arriving in Perth. On the first day, he convinced us to write a good review in exchange for a discount. The hotel, if you can call it that, looks like something out of a horror movie. When we arrived at the apartment, we found it completely filthy, with a fridge full of water leaking everywhere. We had to spend time drying the floor as soon as we entered the mini apartment. There were screams from drunk people fighting at all hours of the day and night. People knocked on the door asking if we had drugs, and some even followed us to the apartment (I was scared to return home alone in the evening after work). Two other backpackers were robbed in their apartment at night while they were sleeping.
Eddy, the man at the reception who manages the hotel, was constantly rude and disrespectful to us. We endured because we had no other options at that moment. But when we finally found another place to stay and left the hotel, Mr. Eddy decided to withhold our $300 bond, claiming that at checkout we were supposed to thoroughly clean the apartment, including washing the sheets (which we had actually washed in the laundry at the cost of $11). It was crazy, considering that in any hotel the sheets are changed for new guests after every checkout. To be clear, we left the apartment in better hygienic conditions than we found it, as it was completely dirty when we arrived. Eddy also claimed that we had broken the TV, which was magically broken even though we never even turned it on since we don't watch TV in English. Anyway, after various absurd excuses, we never saw our money again. A big scam after all the horror we experienced in that place.
