Backpacker's Home

Pros +

• Helpful, friendly owner and staff. Good location just steps away from restaurants and other amenities and transport. Cleanliness was excellent.
• Very well-located. Friendly and welcoming staff. The bedrooms are clean and tidy, beds comfortable and clean. Bbq nights are worth the money. I came in Winter when it's not the best time to stay outside, but this hostel may be great in Summer with its terrace, its restaurant and underground bar.
• It is such a nice place. It is very big with many common areas, rooftop with great view, 2 common areas and a big garden. There is a campfire in the garden. It is a hostel where you have many opportunities to meet people and be social but its not a party/drinking hostel. So you can have a good sleep and some quiet time if you want. The staff is really kind too! They have curtains on the beds which is a must for me.

Cons -

• The toilet is just a regular western one without the seat warmer/bidet etc. Also the window in the bathroom cannot be closed, which makes showering a bit uncomfortable. But you can't complain too much for the price.
• The included breakfast wasn't my cup of tea... Otherwise, guests should be reminded that the bedroom is a shared space, so they must RESPECT the sleep of everyone and the cleanliness of the area.. In 4 nights I was awakened by: One guy who gave a phone call at 2am!! One who turned on the lights in the middle of night and didn't switch it off... One came late sick (drunk?), vomited in the toilets without cleaning One did some strange noise (sport?) or whatever in his bed for half an hour in the middle of the night.
