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.

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.

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) More
