Latest Review for Budget Backpackers

This is a Trusted Review. Why?

Excellent location, right in the heart of the city. Very friendly place to stay. Staff were really helpful. Street noise might be a problem for some but this is to be expected with such a city centre location. Was great to stay somewhere and not have to get buses or taxis anywhere for the whole trip. Would definitely stay here again.
