  Arrived after hours and could not get hold of anyone till 1 hour later, although there was supposed to be someone available on a provided mobile number on door and we told reception beforehand too. Finally got our room at 1am in the morning and it's really just what you pay for. Everything in the backpackers is in desperate need of some TLC.

  Complete lack of management/utterly clueless staff. Our room was still occupied when we arrived despite it being mid afternoon and after check out time - the member of staff on the desk told me this was normal because "the rules are pretty relaxed here". Because of this, we were told to leave our luggage in a 'locked' room until our room was vacated. We left for about an hour and a half, and came back to find a different member of staff on the desk who had no idea where the 'locked' baggage room was, and told us to go check if our room was empty yet! After finding where our bags were, the door was left ajar and unlocked for all to gain access. We peered into our room and found that the previous guests had eventually moved on. However, the bed sheets smelled of sweat and musk, like they hadn't been washed, merely folded up to look new. The room had a working air con which was good but came at the cost of being extremely loud, making it unusable during sleeping hours. The only good thing about this hostel is the location and the price. Personally, I wouldn't stay here again.

  That Backpacker is not bad spot to stay. It is cheap with very simply complimentary breakfast at the heart of esplanade. Rooms were not bad just some of the room doors were hardly to close. Bathrooms nice and clean. Staff is nice depend who is serving you.
