Frommer's Review

This well-known establishment is beloved by travelers and backpackers around the world. It's a fun place to stay, and is very reasonably priced. Dorm rooms sleep 4 to 6 people, and there are quite a few private rooms available also. The atmosphere here is casual yet full of energy, as so many of the guests are keen outdoor types. There's a new pub downstairs. A good option for younger travelers and active families.

Facilities:
Restaurant; kitchen; coin-op washers and dryers; wireless Internet

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
