City Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Before we had even arrived we were emailing with Anna, who was really helpful with her advice to avoid scams at the airport (get the Grab app, and order a taxi from there - don't use anyone else, no matter what they say!), and later very helpful again with how and where to book the bus we wanted for our onward travel. When we did actually arrive - at 3am - we were greeted so happily by Tai, at Reception. He is a real asset to the hostel, welcoming travellers, putting them at ease (and making them really laugh), and offering great sightseeing advice too. Our room was a decent size, and the hostel location was great; a small price to pay for the traffice noise throughout the night, which really can't be helped, and you actually become quite fond of in the end!
