Metro Adventurer Backpackers

We stayed over a week at this hostel and honestly, if it weren’t for the uncomfortable bed (the mattress seriously needs replacing), the experience would have been 10/10. The staff were incredibly friendly, everyone, really, they try to give you advices about the city and jobs. The atmosphere was great, and the guests were very chill; you never felt out of place. And most importantly: the bathrooms and kitchen were always clean. Also, the location is super central, which made everything easy.

Bathrooms, Kitchen, Rooms, and Common areas were somewhat clean, but everything is just outdated. There is no room for storage of anything in any of the fridges or in the rooms. The pillows feel like I’m sleeping on a tshirt stuffed in a pillow case. The location is convenient as it is in the city but in a sketchy area. Staff was very friendly but didn’t explain anything. We had to ask about all of the info about where things are in the hostel and check out procedures and even what room we were in. Would not recommend or stay again. You’re better off spending a little more for a better place to stay.

Great backpackers with good facilities and friendly, helpful staff. I stayed in a 6 person female ensuite dorm and the facilities were clean and pleasant. There was some noise outside at night but earplugs and travel weariness cancelled it out. Would stay again!

Super awesome hostel! Way larger than I expected excellent service and couldn't ask for a better location! Tons of restaurants and it's right in the center of the city! Being by Sky Tower is awesome cause I can wander without fear of getting lost. 12/10 would stay here again

I would avoid this hostel at all costs. There are substantially nicer hostels in the same general area, and I’ve been told that they’re actually cheaper. It has few redeeming features. It’s grimy inside and out and is possibly one of the worst places I’ve stayed in. My bed sheet was stained, the carpeted floor is gross, and don’t even get me started on the washrooms. I’ll add that I didn’t properly fit in the bed. Outside, you will feel unsafe. The hostel is in a corner in an area poor locals like to hang around. They will drink, do drugs, and regularly pester guests. One evening I was worried that one of them was going to rob me. When I arrived the man at the front desk did not answer the buzzer to let me in. I had to call several times to get let in. The service from the majority of the staff is terrible, which makes sense when you consider that the staff is comprised of long term guests.

This place has a really great location and good vibes for the hostel. There are a few things that need to be repaired or updated but given the price and location plus if you're only staying for a few days I'd say it's a great place to stay!

We can really recommend that hostel. The people and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Facilities were clean and if you look for a social hostel than you are at the perfect one!
