“The Bat and Ball Hostel strikes me as a solid choice for gig-goers, especially those heading to the Hordern Pavilion; the walkability alone is a major plus. I appreciate the hostel's classic, respectful atmosphere and the well-equipped kitchen, perfect for budget-conscious travelers. It's a no-frills experience, but the pin-code access and good water pressure earn points for convenience and comfort.”
