Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Really expensive for what it is. Window in room doesn't even open to get some fresh air, and aircon only works half the time and is out of our control (i.e. staff control the temperature) so when it's a hot day you just have to bear with it. Mattress also smelled like someone had pissed on it. Receptionists were the slowest people I have ever met. Why does it take nearly half an hour just to check someone in? The receptionist that checked in my friends and I was an extremely slow typer, I've seen my grandma type faster than she did. This is my second time staying at this backpackers and honestly the quality has gone absolutely downhill. Would not recommend. Check out some of the other backpackers nearby

Absolutely excellent staff; top location and really good value. Pretty basic, though, and h/c basin in room would have made a huge difference. Shared bathrooms need more hooks and shelving in shower stalls.
