Adrianas Place Backpackers Hostel

We stayed 3 pleasant nights in Adriana's which is about 10 minutes walk from the white sand of Dumaluan beach. Food is home cooked, our room was in a simple wood cabin with en suite bathroom. Ideal for young travellers. Not too expensive, quiet neighbourhood, family run, Aussie style. Owner dropped us off at the nearby airport when our stay ended.

Pro- the manager tried her best to help us Cons- if I could give this place a zero I would.This standard room was not fit for purpose from the minute we arrived. We arrived to a shack with no working lock or door, which no staff had noticed. When we got in the room we discovered the bed was on a 25 degree angle so you would constantly roll to the wall and pull the mosquito net off. Not that this particularly mattered because the net was littered with holes to let all the mosquitos in. Sleeping in the room became even more unbearable with the electricity turned off and we had no fan. The next issue was the bathrooms having literally no water. You couldn't wash your hands let alone have a shower. The toilets didn't wash either and the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned. There was loads of hair in one of the showers. We complained to management numerous times and were promised the water was fixed but it was not. The deluxe rooms also had little to no running water. We had no choice but to move so we could at least shower and wash our hands. We were just told sorry. There was no refund for the night we were loosing, even though their facilities were not up to scratch and the facilities they had on *********** were untrue. I find it absolutely disgusting that the owner of this place is renting out this room which is uninhabitable and not fixing massive issues with the establishment, but building a new room. The building work starts at 7am too so if you are not a morning riser be prepared to have an awful awakening. This also was not stated anywhere on ***********. The price of scooter rental is appalling compared to at Alona Beach. The place isn't close to anywhere and the breakfast is gross and overpriced. Stay somewhere at Alona beach and you'll have a much more pleasant time and actually have water. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
