The lady in the reception was really nice and friendly. The good thing about this hostel is that you can book a private room for a very reasonable price and its location is amazing. Bathroom was ok. Overall ok.

This place was an unexpected gem! The staff at check in were so friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and the facilities were clean and functional. It is very close to Central train station and there are lots of places to eat nearby. Will definitely stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

The location is the best. As many of reviews said, the building is old and the floor is squeaky, but they are upgrading by painting walls and providing in-room shelves, desk and individual lockers. The hospitality of the staff, especially Ashley working at reception, was super! She was so friendly and attentive to make our stay happy in many ways. I would definitely return to Home Backpackers!!

4/10 Fair

Very run down accomodation. Every door and floor is squeaking. Had a room next to entrance door and couldn’t sleep because of the noise from door every time someone entered the building. Also rooms were very run down. Very very basic.
