We stayed in a dorm and had a good night of sleep since the air con worked great. There could have been a bit more space in the rooms, but the lockers underneath the beds were great. Bathrooms were clean. We liked the communal area, but you couldnt watch a movie since the bar was close by. Too bad that... More

We stayed at BackPack Oz for 2 nights initially then returning for another 5 nights. We had a double room each stay in the main hostel not the guesthouse. This is the best hostel we've stayed in on our trip around the whole of Australia (unfortunately no pool though). Our room was clean with loads of space and a clothes... More

We stayed 4 nights, 1 in main hostel 3 in guest house which is a bit more expensive and much quieter there was no room in main hostel. Free breakfast, free wifi and free evening meal on Wednesdays, plus fun evenings made this hostel a good choice staff couldn't be more helpful

We stayed in the guesthouse across from Backpack Oz, not sure how big their standard double rooms are but ours had a set of bunks in it as well as a queen bed and it was huge! Ample bathroom and kitchen facilities which were clean, the only thing I didn't like was the location as the traffic was noisy but... More

Unfortunately the room I was in was near the crossing so could hear the crossing beepers all night!! Atmosphere was really good here...easy to talk to people, I liked how the common areas were set up! Kitchen... More

We stopped here for a week at the end of November.Very near to the city center, the owner is kind and helpful, and free BBQ in Wednesday night is good. They also provided bread, spreads, cereal, coffee, tea, and milk for breakfast. The common room was large and offered plenty of places to sit and relax. There is also a... More

This is not a nice hostel. They just put as many beds as possible in crowded spaces, my room was basically in the living room, on the other side of the tv so it was really loud. It should have been a 6 dorm but there was another bed on the floor so you could hardly move. If you want... More
