Grant Feasey

20 March 2010

Liked: Bathroom very clean. Kitchen too small for number of people and not clean. Room clean but smelt damp. If the hippy thing is your scene you might like it but otherwise think about staying somewhere else.

Disliked: Grant left no negative feedback.

agnes viger

13 September 2009 agnes would recommend this property

Liked: It's a very friendly backpacker, you just fell like an host in a family... they can pick you up everywhere. When we arrive, they pick us in the airport and show us the cool things in the city ! Very nice and free guided tour. The beds are confortable, and the backpacker is pretty quite. It's not too far to the city (there is a bus, or you can walk 15 minutes).
