Crap Hostels - Your worst travel stories...

Originally submitted by Rosalynd

Sydney, Australia. Got in late, didn't make a reservation anywhere. Humped my way to three different hostels and finally found one that had a bed. One bed left, in a dorm, oh, and it's a male dorm, but...? I'm tired, my backpack is killing me, i don't care. So i get up there and the room is empty as they are all out partying. I make my way to the empty bed - the top of a bunk, thankfully, i feel i am somewhat 'hidden' - and notice there is porn mags and toilet paper rolls at every bed! Am i in for a night of circle jerk or what? i am positive i'll be molested once the drunken sex maniacs come back. They do stumble in about four and insist on waking up and talking to the newbie, introductions, where ya been, etc. There was no group molestation, thankfully, just drunken hooligans. Next day i moved to a mixed room and felt better. Until some one told me the room had just been sprayed for bed bugs....
