Probably the best condition backpacker I've stayed in. Good location only half a mile from centre and blundell park. Facilities were in good order at all times. Only criticism was that my room was never cleaned in the time I stayed.

When I entered the room, there were insects on the bet and seat was spoiled. Entirely dirty. Also I heard the accommodation has been used for homeless people by government issue. The environment was horrible. I never use again.

Clean, quiet and compact internal airconditioned double bed ensuite room next to spacious kitchen and lounge area. A restful overnight sleep. Good value for money

6/10

Staff really helpful allowing me to check in early and clearly have a great cleaning regime. However the place itself is looking a little tired and needs an update and lick of paint. Great value for money however!
