Reviews of Stone City Hostel
I was looking forward to staying here however the owners bad attitude ruined it for us. He cancelled our booking without letting us know and laughed in our face when telling us what he had done. For a long time he was the only hostel in town and it appears he has become arrogant due to the constant business. Now that the town has more accommodation options I wouldn’t recommend this place purely by the arrogance of the owner. In response to the owner, he did offer to help us with finding other accommodation by calling a hostel that was 100m up the road. I think a kinder option would have been to atleast walk us there as it's wouldn't have been that difficult. When we rang the hostel they cancelled the incorrect nights despite us calling them twice to confirm for the friday night, when we said we were not going to make it for the first night due to running late we offered to still pay for it on the phone as we knew it was late notice. We asked him why he never tried to contact us when as he says we didn't show up to which he said he didn't know how despite us booking through hostelworld where contact details were available. I should also mention he refused to refund us our deposit. In addition, when he says threaten with a bad review, we advised him we would comment exactly what occurred — which is what we've done. He was then quick to update hostelworld and cancel the booking which means were unable to review through that platform.
Was really excited to stay at this hostel because of all the positive reviews, however when we got there they had cancelled our bookings for incorrect nights (despite us ringing to confirm twice) and simply laughed at us when we expressed our disappointment. We found out later from people in town that we were not the first people this had happened to. I think the owner is quite arrogant about having the busiest hostel in the city and doesn't care if he treats a few people badly.
