Worn off, sticky floors, but friendly people. Stayed in a room with guests staying longterm who definitely lowered my feeling of cleaniness. Wouldn’t stay there again, but the location was fine.

My single room 10D was alright but it was very cold at night, so I went to reception to see what could be done? The receptionist gave me a heater and a blanket, so that solved the problem. So overall the Choice Backpackers was the best out of the 3 places I stayed at. I stayed for a week in each of the 3 places. The staff were very good.

Stayed in a private which was adequate, but dimly lit and smelled old. Bathrooms were similarly fine but not the cleanest
