We just stopped for a quick coffee at Forty 8 Backpackers and were not disappointed. The cappuccino was creamy and delicious. The service was very good and I'll definitely come back to eat there as well. The menu is very reasonably priced.

Great clean hostel with friendly staff. Just far enough away from the action to be sensible. It is NOT a party hostel. Good well equipped kitchen. Excellent wifi with computer access for downloading cameras. It has a small bar. Towels are provided. Most attractions walkable and near to bus stops for travel around the city

Thanks for the great stay.The floor is made out of wood can get noisy in the early morning and late at night especially when they host school groups but the stuff members are amazing. Clean and neat place. If you make your bookings at the desk they'll give you a discount

First of all I don't understand why this hotel is even regarded as a 4-star hotel.It is very poor in terms of accommodating large groups. They lye to their customers through the booking process, promising heaven although the reality is the exact opposite. We were a group of 72 when we checked in into this hotel...they packed us like cabbages,while on our arrangements they promised us that there will be 6 single bed per dome...they packed 12 beds per dome. Showers are releasing cold water,some of the rooms were dirty with used condoms under the bed. The worse part when one is raising a concern the management do not in anyway indicating to care...
They take an advantage that once you paid and arrived you won't change.
It is very bad!!!

The lobby of this backpacker's oversells it by a lot. The dormitories are small and noisy and the layout is not thoughtful in general. On many occasions, the kitchen and hallways are full of dirty laundry waiting to be washed. They could make this place great if they put some thought into it.
