Global Backpackers Youth Hostel

Location, shower!!!, (best shower ever), laundry room so well organised, kitchen very well equipped and of course the lovely staff :)

More hooks for clothing would be nice, plug beside long mirror would be good, and usb type plug would be good also. But honestly what a super super place to stay, we lovvvvvved it!

The location was really good.

People was doing noises in the living room.

Location is superb. Very fast to get to both the harbour and a lot of restaurants and supermarkets around. Not to mention right by the sea and park.

Some noise during the night. We think it is because our room was too close to the shared areas.

The hostel is located very centrally, close to the port where the day tours to the islands and reef depart from. There is a cold room and kitchen on the rooftop floor which is convenient. The staff at the reception is very nice and friendly and helped us book both the half day reef tour and the green island tour.

The room is much much smaller than depicted on the pictures. There is nowhere to lay things, no small fridge and the super tiny sink in the shower is not very handy. There is zero storage space. Fine for one emergency night, not more. The hostel is also located above pubs and bars and there is music on until late, which can be annoying if you’re a light sleeper on need to wake up early for the tours. Lastly, you can hear people moving chairs on the terrace very loudly from 6 in the morning till late in the evening.
