The ladies who welcomed us in were amazing and made us feel so welcome and comfortable
I wasn’t sure what to expect when we arrived and were looking for the place from the street, once we came in, we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly people and interesting spaces and colourful vibe of the place

Location is great! Backpackers is well established and has everything you need for your stay. Bathrooms could use a little update, but manageable! Overall was a comfortable stay with good gate security.
Came with a car and its street parking which I did worry about with my stay, but it says this on the website and they have a security camera on this area.

The staff and people there were friendly helpful and accommodating,there is a kitchen and washing,ironing facilities ,fairly decent showers.lovely spots to chill around .
The place needs serious fumigation especially beds and kitchen ,there are cockroaches everywhere,oven needs serious maintenance and cleaning,and fragrances left there permanently to make it smell fresh and clean at all times since many people use the kitchen,they need to be more strict on who can come through the doors and drugs should be prohibited 🚫 as it causes alot of unnecessary stress,stealing and added issues ,if the standard is improved I’d go there alot more as the staff and people are good to cohabitate with apart from a few ,it’s a good atmosphere and pleasant place to stay .
