Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hostel is very social and gets a cozy vibe to it, that does make it feel like home when staying a longer time! I had an amazing time meeting so many new people at the backpackers and enjoyed the time there a lot

    After reading the previous reviews I was a bit worried. But I only needed a place to stay for the night. The room was warm and had what I needed the rooms are not sound proof but that was not a worry for me and at the time there were sports teams there. Next to BP garage for any necessities after hours and just down the road from a tourist cultural experience centre - just walking distance. Free parking and seem safe around the area at night.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Lovely layout of the rooms, comfy bunk beds with curtains. Toiletries in the spacious showers. Plenty of lounge space although I didn't have a chance to use it.
