Backpackers Home

This was my 2nd visit to backpackers home this year. It was again a great experience, great atmosphere and met a lot of nice people. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The people were respectful and nice, the place was very clean and cozy

Staff were very friendly, kitchen area super clean and fully equipped. The fridge and freezer to store food was really great and labelled. The communal area was super spacious, loads of seating all around the building and great lighting for the evenings and we had a very good social time, made new friends every night and had a really great time. Bunks were clean and the 12 bed room had curtains. The rooms are divided so it doesn't feel as many people with lockers to store your things.

Nothing

The shared spaces are really nice to hang out and meet people

They put too many beds in the dorms, it is very cramped especially the beds blocking the walkway. If you want to get anything out your drawer it’s impossible to pull it out all the way and also you are in the way of everyone walking past so they have to climb over you or you just can’t access your drawer. In addition to this, when I went to use the shower (there were only 2), there was around 12 people in the tiny bathroom. There was a queue for the shower upstairs (again only another 2 showers). Four female showers and four female toilets for the amount of guests is insane. (It’s a very busy hostel)
