Dorm was tiny. We stayed two nights and on the second morning when our other roommates left the sheets were left on the beds for the next guests, we had to tell them they had been slept in. We had to wait ages to use the tiny dirty kitchen and in the end we regretted it. Would never stay there... more

This place was great, it was cheap and had everything you could want. In the heart of town, great tour desk and information center. It is a typical party backpackers with people everywhere all the time, but in saying that our private twin rooms did the job just fine. Would stay there again next time i am in Arlie for... more

Very cool hostel, cheap rooms, even if you want it private or with ensuite bathroom. Good point : if you book your trip at the Magnums agency, you get free nights of accomodation. Weak point: linen is not provided Don't forget to lock the door at night... more

I think I liked this place, in spite of the smallest kitchen ever and although I 'lost' there my new sunglasses (which I probably forgot at the bathroom and have been thrown away by the cleaning lady - no use for everyone else, since they had prescriptions. At least the staff was helpful and symptathetic about that). We checked in... more

Me and partner stayed here for one night on the advice of a local tour operator, what a mistake that was. This place is a typical backpackers hostel, with young backpackers mainly populating its dorms and rooms which means if you are after a good nights sleep think again. We had a double room which was tidy and I guess... more

Magnums Backpackers is the worst backpackers I've ever stayed! My friend and I booked here for 3 nights. Everything seems fine in the beginning. However, in the 2nd night, I can't believe that 8 strangers HAD A PARTY in my share dorm. They played card, drank and yelled from 9pm to 12pm. We try to find the reception but it... more

I arrived in Arlie Beach by bus at 6.00am. I expected a courtesy bus to meet me at the bus stop and was disappointed to find that there wasn't so I had to walk to Magnums which took around 10mins. I was able to check in even that early. I had originally booked a dorm room but was able to... more

I felt I just had to come on and tell everybody to stay well away from this hostel. The staff both in the bar and reception (especially in reception) have to be the rudest shower of people that I ever had the misfortune to encounter. They have so many airs and graces about themselves that you would swear that you... more
