Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Quiet nights sleep in an old but comfortable clean room that had a new shower, toilet and handbasin. Lots of hot water for showering. New owner working very hard to upgrade the property.
Negative: Hard to find as was a grey corner concrete building that needs huge stencilled lettering on the outside concrete walls that says, BACKPACKERS.
Summary: Very cheap accommodation in a quiet area that the owner is working hard to upgrade.
