One World Backpackers

perths worst hostel

to all of my friends at one world, past and present thank you for all of the wonderful memories. my only regret is that my departure was on such bad terms. the management is solely to blame for that however.
the only thing that i find more abhorrant than the way in which rob and i were removed from the hostel is the behaviour of senior staff in the aftermath of our departure. one has to ask, is it appropriate for a hostel manager to discuss guests, former or current, on his personal social network site? is it appropriate to make derisive comments about your customers on a public forum if you work in any branch of hospitality? certaily not. it is this total lack of decorum that has the man in the position he is currently in. perhaps if he truly was as all knowing and intelligent as he thinks he is he would not be managing a little hostel at the age of 49 but would have risen to greater things than 40,000 dollars a year.
one must also ask is it appropriate for a man of his years to be lingering about the hostel after hours and insisting that if you are to stay at his hostel you must be a mate of his and fit in with his idea of ideal "hostel dynamics". it is not appropriate. young people are made uncomfortable by his presence there. surely the duties of manager do not stretch to socialising with guests and attempting to influence the lives of people as part of his psychological experiment.
the owners of the hostel should take a look at the man they have chosen to be the face of their hostel, they should look at his work rate, as well as the aforementioned issues, and they may see that if he were removed from his position he would pass away as though he were never there, his legacy nothing but a bad memory in a place filled with otherwise good memories.
anyway i will not allow a bitter little hobbit to sully the good memories of a wonderful place.
cheers to all of you.
