Cloud9 Backpackers- worst Australian hostel!

Just need to make this clear to all backpackers out there... since we did not book through a website we can not make an "official" review.. But the world should know that Cloud9 Backpacker hostel in Brisbane is the worst ever. Extremely dirty, not very friendly and rude personell, dirty kitchen with no bowls, plates or cuttlery(you could get dirty ones for a deposit of 10AUD!!!), not very clean sheets, deposit for blankets, bad smelling beds, some kind of DVD room that consisted of some broken and dirty sofas in front of two broken TVs.

I mean, how hard can it be?? We stayed at the nicest, best hostel in Hervey Bay(Next Backpackers) and they made everything look so easy... and did not make any fuzz about ones responsibilities... When you close up, you clean the kitchen.. When you have reception you check people in AND you help them what ever booking they want. Sheets were sent of to be cleaned(and not washed in-house with kind of bad washingmachines...).Things were there as a service to the guests... and guests were treated as geasts not as annoying backpackers(which I bet there can be a lot of though...). It is not that hard if you just have the will!!

We stayed two nights in a 10 bed dorm at Cloud9 in Brisbane and we are happy to have left it... We are now in Singapore and at a lovely hotel where they said: "Welcome Mr Mattsson" when we stepped inside the door! Too easy!!
