As someone who has been travelling for nearly two months, it was great to meet fellow travellers closer to my own age group. Free walks and trips and special deals on food for those on a budget has been kost welcome. Clean room and en-suite for 4 felt like luxury. Reception staff very helpful

Booked this through wotif.com. Nowhere in the wotif booking page does it mention this is backpacker accommodation. In fact it calls it a hotel. There were swarms of young people - schoolies? Room was spacious and clean, but very tired. May be ok for backpacker’s but certainly not up to par as a hotel.

Reception is poorly laid out - I found the "reception" area underneath a giant sign that said nomads only to find out I have to go about two blocks to X Base Backpackers to check in and it took a bit for people to Reception is to the point and moves quickly. Got introduced to an app called GOKI that would act as my key; nice touch but would have preferred a room key.

This is for backpackers. I must say I blame myself for not looking closely enough. I would not have booked this hotel for me. The private room was dated. There was not a single seat to sit on. The lighting was terrible. Good thing we only stayed one night
