The room was very small and stuffy, there was only space for the bunks and a shelving unit/cupboard which was broken so I was not able to secure my belongings. It was a little inconvenient with the stairs and the location of the amenities, but otherwise it was a nice place and certainly perfect for backpackers. The male who served me was very nice & friendly.

I want to say I loved my stay, but because the property was in the midst of painting the walls on our floor, it was not great. Lots of noise (at 4am from the kitchen by our room), lots of dust and paint fumes, tripping hazards where tarp had come up. Yeah, not great. BUT, of the four front desk people we talked to three were absolute stars. Very helpful. Very friendly. I think I'll come back to see what the renovation does for the place. It's got good bones and great people and it's in a really convenient location. I'll be back.

Loved the central location of Global Backpackers, close to numerous dining options, public transport and easy to find. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms and shared bathrooms were clean and not dingy.
