We stayed in the hostel for one night. It was okay, the rooms were clean, the kitchen was clean and the bathroom was okay as well. We got a discount for pizza in their restaurant/bar, which was really yammi. Most of the time the staff was not available, which makes it a rather bad service. Also I think it is... More

The backpacker itself is quite nice. Rooms are fine, bathrooms are OK (though they could be cleaner), kitchen is decent. The management is atrocious however. Currently the manager is actually a backpacker who has no idea what he's doing. If you book online, cross your fingers that they will actually get what you booked. The people we met there were...

This place is the cleanest backpackers I have ever stayed in. As it was Christmas Day I had a room to myself. The bed was very comfy and the air conditioner kept the room nice and cool. The bathrooms & showers look new and were spotless. The only bad thing that I encountered was a group of males being loud... More

To find any staff you have to go via the Rattle and Hum Bar, next door, most staff are really friendly and helpful though. Originally a 10 bed dorm and moved to a 4 bed dorm, just because the amount of long term people staying there, who seem to think they own the rooms and kitchen, put there things everywhere.... More

Short review: this place is not ready for prime time. Worst hostel experience ever, and we've traveled the world. Long review: We booked and prepaid for a private double in advance via their website. We arrived around 8 pm to find an empty reception desk with a sign saying to look for staff upstairs in the hostel or next door... More

This place doesn't have any undesirables, its friendly, clean and seemed very secure. The staff are helpful, and you can get jobs downstairs and your room might be free. It's lovely open air balcony is perfect, wide screen tv and bar/restaurant downstairs make it perfect. (just missing a pool). Highly recommend!! A :o)
