Its worth the money, its really cheap and you get more than you pay for. Richard was really helpful and friendly as were all the staff. Showers were really clean, always hot water. Kitchen fully stocked. Free breakfast!!! What more could you ask for? No bed bugs! The common area is a bit small upstairs but there is one downstairs.... More

A very nice and clean backpackers with three common rooms with flat screen TVs and a built in bar with exceptionally cheap drinks. The staff are nice and helpful for the most part. The beds are a bit stiff, but overall not too bad for a backpackers. I would reccommend staying there.
