Kimberley Travellers Lodge - Broome YHA

空港から徒歩15分ほど、チャイナタウンから徒歩10分ほどでロケーションはとてもいいと思います。 スタッフは親切な方ばかりで分からないことは聞いたら教えてくれます。 共有スペースは毎日清掃してくれるので不自由なく使えました。 部屋は広くはないですが寝泊まりする分には問題ありませんでした。周りの話を聞いてると部屋の快適さは滞在している人による感じでした。私の部屋はミックス6人部屋で男性が多かったですが、荷物はコンパクトにまとめてロッカーやベッド周りにものを置いており、静かに過ごす人が多く快適でした。 基本的に外は23時までうるさいです。

This is a backpackers. The room was clean and so were the shared bathrooms. The vibe is great because there are beautiful young people all around. There is a beer bar downstairs and there are activities every night. Internet works best in the courtyard, not the rooms. We enjoyed our stay before and after our tour of the Kimberley. The accomodation is within walking distance of the information center, airport, and Chinatown.

Staying at a YHA is always a calculated risk but with accommodation booked out in Broome months and months in advance (not to mention the outrageous prices charged in the dry season!!), I thought I would give it a go. Quite frankly, I’ve been mind-boggled by the amount of lazy, selfish individuals (generally late teens/20-somethings) who just leave all their dirty cups and dishes and empty food and drink containers all over the place as well as the filthy mess they leave the kitchen in. The free breakfast items are left open and uncapped or uncovered on the benches, with used cutlery covered in spreads dumped there for all the flies from the unclosed sliding kitchen door to feast on. The milk/butter is rarely returned to the fridge. They never wipe down the mess they make but generally leave it for others to do. This occurs on a daily basis. I can’t imagine the state of their homes! The one shining light in all this havoc is manager Shaun who is always so kind, helpful and accommodating. Apart from all that, the very basic rooms are fine, if minamilistic, and the shared bathrooms are cleaned daily (thank goodness!). There is free wifi but this doesn’t work in the rooms, even the private ones. I have to say this experience has been an eye-opener to say the least.
