  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The location was good and they have parking and very social place Not clean there’s a long q to the toilet and shower of an hour at list in the morning, and they have rooms at the 4th floor and the straits pretty high, so think twice if u have the power for it..

    Great stay for me. Amazing location and facilities. Felt like home away from home.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    The bed makes noise when you move on it

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Staff was quite pleasant Banker beds were not comfortable

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Location to transport Cleanliness was poor.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    People come and go at all hours of the day and night. While understandable, maybe the property should consider having a notice for people arriving late at night not to turn on the main light (each bed has a lamp) or talk loudly.

    Location was nice! Kitchen had lots of places to sit. One of the staff members made pancakes on the weekend! Felt really overcrowded. Was there on the weekend and felt like the bathrooms were always in use or was battling with someone to use the stairwell with. It’s an old building in a popular area, makes sense

    I booked one night in prime backpackers. It was a great experience. They have a very nice reception and the receptionist was very polite and professional, I found out that she was the owner. She gave me a tour of the house and the communal areas, which is a big kitten and dining area and then they have a co-working space and TV room. I stayed in a small dorm with 6 beds and it was very clean and stylish. It looked like the place was recently renovated. And I loved the dark gray bedding, very slick. I also met a lot of other people in the lounge, and some of them were volunteers that explained to me that the hostel is community based and I found it very friendly and safe. As a female traveller I think comfort, cleanness and safety are the most important. And this place has all that. I really enjoyed my stay and I am looking forward to booking it again next week. And thank you Valeria for showing me around. All was perfect with my experience!!!

    Noisy / bathroom

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Location and staff was helpful Cleaning very poor Very few showers and toilets, and they are all shared. The rooms are dirty and old. The rooms are very small and you live with 8 other people in it. They have 3 floor beds. The beds, pillows, and bed sheets are very low quality.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The staff were exceptional, friendly, and made it a welcoming environment
