Liked: I only stayed one night at Torquay Backpackers and I arrived late and left early so there's not much I can comment on. The staff however were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable. I'd booked for a 4 bed dorm but the 3 other beds never got filled so I had the room to myself! I particularly liked the large lockers provided that you could put your own lock on to secure your belongings. They also have a sink in the room. The location is good, close to the main shopping strip, not far from the harbour and train station.

Disliked: The bathrooms weren't as clean as they could be especially considering they don't have many to clean.

Liked: Lockers under the bunkbeds, free parking at weekends in rear access car park. Hot showers with good temperature regulation. Free Tea & Coffee. Somebody passed out drunk on the pool table at about 23:30 on Saturday :-) V Funny. Hostel very quiet and easy to sleep.

Disliked: Could not find milk for the free tea and coffee. Bunk Beds in our room had no side panels so was nervous about falling off the top bunk during the night.
