Andi Indonesia

Convenient and comfortable were the most defining features of my stay at backpackers. The hassle-free ease of checking in and out was appreciated. The facilities were more than sufficient and the room was cosy and soooo comfortable. Running shower with hot water. Air conditioning. A kitchen, working lounge and an ironing stand with an iron. And more than anything, the place felt safe. I'm glad i chose to stay here.

My stay here was incredible! The staff here are so amazing and helpful, I met Elisha, Gulfam and Haris who were all such a pleasure to meet. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms were good and you have a kitchen to make your own food, good wifi and easy to get to places to eat, atms, etc. They will help plan your trip or book buses if needed. Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful time at Backpackers Hostel Islamabad! After traveling the country for almost a month I was in a desperate need of a quiet and relaxed place to finish my solo trip through Pakistan and Backpackers Hostel Islamabad was the right place to do just that. It has a very nice and friendly atmosphere and It feels more like home than in any other hostels/hotels I stayed in Pakistan. It's perfect for meeting other foreign travelers and the owners are super friendly and very hospitable always ready to help with everything.
