Princes Street Backpackers East Reviews

Very conveniently located and fine for what you pay. Showers were really good and very clean and it was lovely and warm but the room itself wasn't the nicest, and the sheets had some fairly dubious stains. Quite loud at night, too with music from the floor below.

Everything you can want in a hostel, helpful friendly staff, active community, clean, all good!

Great hostel full of character, helpful staff. Really clean facilities!

We only stayed 1 night, so it is not a thorough review. Our room was simple and clean, staff was super friendly, atmosphere is very hippie and reminded us those days we were students. You can meet lots of people there, as lots of people actually live there :) And the location is great!! Overall, we loved it!

True value for money! The staff is really helpful and the location makes it worth every penny.

Aside from the noise ( hearplugs are very usefull ) it was awesome !!

One of the best hostels we've ever stayed in! Will definitely be back. Everything was clean, the option to party is there every night and heaps of stuff to do if you just want to chill out. Wasn't noisy at all, hot showers and comfy beds. All the long term people there are great too, really welcoming and inclusive. Can't wait to go back.

It's at the top of about five flights of stairs which they don't tell you on the website. Big kitchen staff were good. Only stayed for a night though.

One of the best hostels we have ever stayed in! Very colorful, laid back and friendly atmosphere, comfy beds, excellent location, well equipped kitchen, great common room and clean bathrooms. No room keys make you feel like home - I respect your things and wont still your pants and expect you to behave in the same way. If you're an open minded traveller looking for a place with its own character Princes Street is the righ choice.

excellet location, staff and atmosphere and very very clean

This Hostel is fun to look at since all the walls and the carpets are fully painted with psychedelic pictures. There´s always loud music at the reception but the rooms are far enough so you don´t hear it. However, there´s a big pub in the same building which plays music every night which could be heard in the rooms (loud bass etc.) Our neighbours had a TV (we didn´t) which was also very loud. Some of the showers didn´t work but those which worked were clean and nice. The staff was always nice.

Enjoyed my stay here, the location was excellent, and staff friendly and helpful. Right around the corner, Snack cafe is great value for money. Be aware, it's a fair trek up the spiral stairs (especially when you have a suitcase), but well worth it. There's a great (but kinda hidden) TV/movie room, as well as well-equipped kitchen and dining area, well set out for travelers to meet. The clocks showing time around the world are a nice touch. Loved all the funky artwork. I would definitely be back

I love how easy it is to find the hostel and the pictures on the wall as we ascend to the top. Love that the first thing the receptionist said was an enthusiastic HI, and I love the comfort at the place. Though it would have been nice if we have very simple breakfast served, but all in all, it was a nice stay. :)

Great great hostel ! Good location, friendly staff and nice rooms !

very old building, cramped, worst hostel i ever stayed at, very low standard, tv room a disgrace, rooms very average, compared to other hostels in the city.

Really enjoyed my stay at Princes St. East Backpackers Hostel. Staff were approachable enough, and the free Sunday dinner was absolutely delicious! The only complaint I would have is that towels & small shower necessities were not offered/provided to use the showers, and as I did not have these basic things on me I had to buy them during my stay. :(

was a really nice hostel, lots of steps to get up to it but well signed at the entrance. awesome murals to distract you from all the climbing. beds a bit lumpy but rooms were big and warm and we were the only ones in ours for the first 2 days. really good value for money! reception 24hrs was awesome and security was good too they had to buzz u in after 12. good sized hostel not too many people but enough for it to be fun. all computers didnt work though... kind of annoying. would def stay again!

Friendly and well-organised. The dormitory was a bit warm but generally the hostel was a good place to stay at a good price.

The place very wonderful and people of hostel very friendly. I will be back in this hostel certainly.

The brown stains dripping down the wall in the toilet nearest my room, the carpet coming up from the floor, the paint cracking off the walls, and the constant yelling of Australian girls made the experience the least enjoyable of all my hostel stays throughout Europe.
