It is too expensiv. The rooms are very small and dirty. They say their have the best deal in town, thats right but it is not the money worth. Look for some other accommodation there are a lot of better options near the Esplanade

The receptions eventually found me a room at the hostel. She was rude thought out the whole thing.The kitchen would be shut for cleaning at... More

We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and friendly Global Backpackers is. It definitely has a party vibe and is a fantastic spot to meet other travelers. All of the staff are really friendly and helpful, were willing to offer advice for our group, and always helped out with good information on nearby restaurants, activities, and clinics. Clean kitchen, clean... More

The receptionnists don't care about the customers, the only thing they do correctly : take your money. Never smiling, never helping even if you just ask some change for the laundry... Terrible staff partying all night so they cant clean well in the morning. Bed bugs in some room, bugs in the food in the kichen, no doors in the... More
