Zebra Crossing Backpackers

This place has a cozy, peaceful feel and the people are welcoming, which gives it a charm that the more commercial hostels nearby don’t have. It’s an older building, and you may hear the neighbours sometimes, but that’s part of its character. If a bit of charm matters more to you than everything being perfect, it’s a gem.

There’s not much going on here, and I liked that there were no parties. It’s a quiet hostel with affordable prices, and you can get good deals by asking directly. The Wi-Fi worked so well that uploading my YouTube video was easy. Shops, a mall, restaurants, and cafes are all about a five-minute walk away, and the area felt safe. Good value for the price, with very friendly staff.

I appreciated how calm and laid back it was, since I need quiet time and there wasn’t much partying. I still met some great people, and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. Cleanliness could be better, as it can in hostels. The facilities are budget level, but they don’t pretend otherwise, and the family rooms are actually amazing. It’s central and in a safe area too.

The atmosphere here is next level, with happy staff and fantastic owners. Everything was super clean, the rooms were great, and there were plenty of bathrooms. The location is great too. The food was delicious, and there’s a full communal kitchen if you’d rather not use the coffee shop. A definite 10 out of 10 for me. I can’t wait to return!
