I wasn't too sure about bringing my elderly mom to a backpackers, but figured, how bad could it be?? Well.. it was GREAT!! She loved the room! We had a private room with private bathroom - it had a big shower and the cutest little half sink thing. The windows were big and it was bright, airy and comfortable. The reception host - Mel - gave us a warm welcoming and quick tour. We loved that there were pets there!!! Makes it feel more homey. The kitchen was very busy the first night with lots of young people preparing their dinners, but we didn't have an issue with the business, it was fun to watch them go, then have the quietness of our room to enjoy! Walking distance to local shops and sites. Would stay here again!!
