The hostel is a nice place with very friendly staff. The kitchen is adequate for cooking small meals in. There are a lot of internet stations but it's this Global gossip pay as you go connection so you pay $1 for 15mins which I think is a little bit of a rip off. But this seems to be standard at... more

This is a truly lovely backpackers. I booked an entire room to myself and was pleasantly surprised to have the bed made for me and clean towels and bathroom products as found in a hotel. The room was really clean and had aircon. The location is brilliant, with a grocery store nextdoor, taxi rank across the road to get to... more

Of all the travelling we have done we have never experienced hospatility and comfort like it, from the friendly staff to the great prices at such a fantastic location, also to the well planned trips thanks so much from Alan, shug and evelyn. the Irish connection ;) more

The staff were very helpful, from picking me up at the bus station to organising trips. Although the hostel was 100% full, the staff were very willing to help.

My friend and I stayed in a twin room here and love it (We paid for a twin but were given a ensuite dorm room with 3 bunkbeds for just the two of us, which was fine). The staff were very helpful and friendly- we couldn't have asked for more from them. It was in a great location. Right near... more

This is the cleanest and friendliest backpackers we have ever been in. We had booked into Koala's and were appalled at the place and the rude staff. Next Backpackers was the polar opposite - the staff were so helpful and friendly. We booked a double ensuite which was cheaper than Koala's and a hundred times cleaner. The hostel is modern... more

Next Backpackers is a VERY clean hostel. Its brand new and has an awesome kitchen and all new appliances and technology. The room was very nice, but they only give you one sheet to sleep with which is unfortunate in winter. We were put in a room on the ground floor and at 2:00 in the morning people were being... more
