Probably the best condition backpacker I've stayed in. Good location only half a mile from centre and blundell park. Facilities were in good order at all times. Only criticism was that my room was never cleaned in the time I stayed.

When I entered the room, there were insects on the bet and seat was spoiled. Entirely dirty. Also I heard the accommodation has been used for homeless people by government issue. The environment was horrible. I never use again.

The room was ok for the price and the Toilet and shower was clean. It seams the walls are made from carton as you can hear the people talking next door. I liked the stay but in Hamilton the City council made it really hard to find a spot for the car in the central, when the free parking from the hostel is booked out. So not cool Hamilton Council :( Thanks HH

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff really helpful allowing me to check in early and clearly have a great cleaning regime. However the place itself is looking a little tired and needs an update and lick of paint. Great value for money however!
