BUG review
This is a huge corner pub in the centre of town with sterile dorm rooms and moderately clean bathrooms in need of maintenance. The kitchen is awful and there is not much of a common area besides the pub downstairs, which is mainly a local workers hangout. They also have internet access, laundry and a pool table, and there is a restaurant downstairs. Despite the location, it does not have a good backpackers’ atmosphere. Check in at the bar.
