I would recommend becaue of...

Liked: Really good value-for-money hostel. We had to change rooms because we didn’t book in advance, and the second room was quite dirty (dirty sheets, etc.). However, they cleaned it right away when I mentioned it.The staff is super nice, except for one French lady who ruined the overall impression. She was extremely rude and had no sense of professionalism. It's sad that people like this work in the hotel industry, especially in a country where job opportunities like fruit picking are everywhere.
Disliked: Everything is on the top. They have a bad pool table. But it still is a pool table :P O and walls are paper thin.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Very good

Liked: As an older traveller who has stayed in many Back Packer over the years it was what I expected. Single room with shared Bathroom so nothing fancy. In need of a bathroom make over but for 1night it was ok. It was surprisingly quiet, not alot of noise. The location was great bused from the Airport so a short walk to Choice.

Liked: Good location, staff were nice and very cheap.
Disliked: It wasn’t the cleanest or nicest place but you definitely pay for what you get. Good place if you’re on a budget.
