The team at Wild Zebra Backpackers did not know what Wotif was and where confused by my booking and payment.
Other than that, the room I had was clean and it was a great location.

Expensive backpackers
Quite expensive for just a backpackers. Got a private room, but shared showers. Close walking distance to concert venue and situated right in town, so I guess paying for location.

Don’t do it
Gross, noisy. Paper walls, no sleep as all night chat and music, people on phones, what a dump.

Best place for backpackers, located in the centre of the city (next to all clubs) and it's cheap as well.

It wasn’t very clean, we had to go back to reception for towels. The location is perfect but wouldn’t stay there again
