Not too laid back, not too loud, guests love ‘The Backpack’ and it's easy to see why. For years it has stayed ahead of the crowd by constantly adapting, yet always offering top notch accommodation for the price and wonderfully clued service from its desk - Lonely Planet 2005' the most comfortable and best run in town. One of the best backpacker travel centres around. Recommended by - Footprints 2004, 'Run by super-fun characters' - Lets Go 2003!
