Newquay backpackers is one of the best hostels I've stayed in. I was travelling with friends but, it's the kind of place where you'd feel welcomed even if you were by yourself. The friendly, laid-back vibe is brilliant and Lorna, the manager is helpful and lovely. Apart from the awesome energy, there is a big kitchen and the showers are... More

I stayed at newquay backpackers for a weekend and i didn't want to leave! everyone was so friendly espcially the owner Lorna, she really helped me on where to go and what to do around nwquay. I will deffinately come back to this hostel. I love Alfie!

Having read the reviews about this place, I have to say I agree with both the most damning ones and the ones raving about Backpackers.

Large communal kitchen and dining area with decor - just like on the advertised photos. The showers and toilets were kept clean and there is... More

During my three and a half week stay at Newquay International Backpackers i was offered what most people try to look for when booking cheap accommodation, i.e. a central location, small sized dorm rooms and a working order kitchen. The added benefit i also appreciated was that the staff were quite helpful and, along with fellow backpackers, were also sociable.... More

I travelled all over Western Europe the summer of '03 and I'd have to say the stay at this place was the best time of my trip. Newquay itself is wicked but experiencing it with all sorts of people is even better. The hostel has a real family sort of feel, everyone is friends and everyone parties together. The place... More
