Great location on Long Street which is relatively safe to walk around and has all you need such as shops, bars and restaurants. Very secure with keycode entry for the main gate, a key to each room and full size lockers in the dorms. Staff are friendly and helpful. The only slight downside was I booked a 4 bed dorm and got a 5 that you needed to walk through a 2 bed room to get to. But as it was quiet when I was there, it wasn\'t really an issue. All in all, a nice place to stay.

Really nice place to stay if you want to be in the heart of the action. The lady at the front desk who helped me get settled was really friendly and even remembered my name the next morning when I ckecked out. Big points!

ok, if you dont want sleep and you only want party, then it has a good location. If you want know the city, do tours, and after a long day enjoying you want sleep and have a rest, is a very bad option. The second night was imposible (and i say imposible) sleep anything, the music of the discos are too near you listen like in your own room. Obviosly, the people who go to this backpackers is looking for party, and then don,t hope they respect your sleeping. The only good thing is the staff
