Not clean at all, spots all over the place. I had to buy a room freshner and the room size was VERY small. Not recommended

Good location, friendly staff. I'm probably getting too old to stay at backpackers and didn't appreciate the teenagers loudly throwing up from midnight till 3am in the bathroom.

The facilities were adequate, an ensuite was a pleasing surprise. But the bed was uncomfortable, the pillows almost flat, and on closer inspection, absolutely filthy. There were no pillow protectors, and the oil and grime of many heads was evident. Likewise the mattress was also stained, including what looked suspiciously like blood. Yuck.

Conditions outdated, carpets ripped up in rooms a

Pros: Terrible
Cons: Should be shut down
Terrible conditions for anyone...perhaps our room was the worst because if the others were the same..the place should be shut down before someone gets seriously injured

The room was pretty dirty, needs a vacuum and the bathroom needs cleaning. Staff were pleasant and location is close to chinatown.
