4/10 Fair

Full of free loaders and people with no respect
The two people running the place, Abraham and his Irish lady colleague are very helpful, polite and trying to do a good job. But they are understaffed and under resourced, and have to deal with a lot of people who have NO respect for others in the building. Blocked up toilets, not flushing them after 2's! People literally stealing the teabag out of your cup while you are washing up in the next room. People rummaging through the pantry in other peoples supplies, and THEN when they see you have a jar of coffee, having the cheek to ask for your jar, AND your own spoon.... Who stays at a place like this on a long term basis and doesn't provide their own tea, coffee, utensil??...SO many of them do NOT wash up the common room, even leaving their food in pots, pans, bowls, and leave it to the over worked staff to deal with... It is truly disgusting and pathetic. One "long term" resident even walked in front of two of us watching TV, and just changed the channel without even asking or saying anything, because, you know, he is entitled to, because he is 'long term'. SO many people doing self centered things with no thought for others sharing the common facilities and space. Will Never stay there again and do not recommend anyone doing it either, worst and dirtiest "back packer" experience of my time... This isn't a reflection on the staff, they try, do great pancakes, but are hamstrung by so many people who don't give a rats about anybody but themselves. Not all obviously, but a lot!

10/10 Exceptional

1849 is a very bussy backpacker hostel! The rooms are of reasanoble size and the staff is very helpfull and friendly. I recomend it to all backpackers and to those who want to stay in Albany (Western Australia) at low but convenient price. There is one free pan-cake in the morning between 8:30-10;30 ($2 each for susequent ones). Dr. Raul Raiter

One thing to note is that it is quite run down and old, which has a bit of an appeal. However, we got locked inside our room as the door lock was broken and were told to just leave it unlocked, so just be aware and double check!

2/10 Poor

They hold a $10 for key but they don't pretend to give it back as nobody answer the phone in early morning. Bedroom smells bad, full of stuffs of other occupants and you don't have space for anything in the room, even walk. People smoking everywhere. Don't recommend at all.
