One of the only hostels in town with free shuttle to airport, wharf and downtown, very convenient. Fun atmosphere without being overly rowdy or crazy. AC unit in the room worked real well. Showers upstairs lacked any place to hang/ hold your change of clothes or toiletries and the water was often not hot. Room felt a little grimy and beds not that great but not that bad either.

The atmosphere - cool outdoor area and cool bar. Room was tiny! Not value for money at all. Staff on the desk were not helpful really and too busy drinking and smoking, however were friendly overall. The website states free parking however there isn't any, the bays state no parking between 8 and 6pm

The shuttle bus to and from the city and the airport is an excellent service. We were very impressed with how frequently it went. We realise that backpackers accommodation is likely to have late night music/drinking however, with our room so close to the bar, we were not able to sleep until 1am at the earliest. Alot of people staying would have arranged to go on early tours etc. as we did which meant a very interrupted nights sleep. Such a shame really as the bar area was quite nice. Rooms should not be directly facing it especially within 10 metres!!!

The shuttles to and from the airport and city were great! The staff were very nice, and there seemed to be a lot of fun events in the evenings (which also meant that it was a bit loud when you were trying to sleep) There were some grungy rooms. It was a bit of a walk to city centre. The washroom and shower facilities werent great.

平均約每小時就有免費接駁車。 來回機場也是免費接送。 服務人員相當熱情,以背包客棧來講相當划算~ 推薦短期旅遊換點的背包客~ 離市中心1.5~2Km.如果步行約15~20mins.
