Potshot Hotel Resort

Paid ~$45 a night. For a 6 bed female dorm. I booked for 4 nights and called 7 days prior to change my booking to the 2nd 2 nights only and they wouldn’t let me as the change had to be made “before 7 days”. Overall, hostel is average and has a very commercial, impersonal atmosphere. Big kitchen and communal areas, but I did not meet any other guests who were keen to have a conversation. Even staff were very blunt, didn’t even ask me how my stay was when I checked out. A/C and fan in the room, and a bathroom in each dorm which is nice, but absolutely no amenities?! I couldn’t find anywhere to fill water, and not even hand soap?? The rooms are spacious, bunk beds are ok and made up on arrival, but little to no consideration for guests and their early wake ups - especially as most travellers will be waking at 5-6am for day trips onto the reef. There was a big party on the Friday night of my stay and music was BLASTING until 12am. The pub part is right next to the rooms so you can here EVERYTHING. No way to secure your luggage except in your own suitcase. Also hostel is on the outer side of town so unless you have a car it’s at least a 10-20min walk to get anywhere. They have a monopoly on budget accommodation in Exmouth. especially for solo travellers. I guess it shows.
