FlynnAustraliaGood location, room size, bathroom was good.
On going construction right above your head. Wakes you up every morning and makes the room basically unusable during the day. I did not have my bed made, sheets or towels…

WEI HUNGTW員工態度還蠻熱情的，有問題都可以回應
有一個大廚房，公共區域幾乎隨時都有背包客逗留
走路距離中央站約7分鐘還算快速
附近蠻多餐廳的，轉角處有一家7-11
可以步行到中國城10-15分鐘左右
雖然只有一部電梯但樓層不高
隔音部分普通，沒有特別聽到鄰房的雜音
只是有時候隔壁或者對面開電子鎖的時候聲音很明顯
枕頭與被單沒有特別的臭味或者霉味但質量就很一般
浴室是固定式…

ChantaleGermanyHostel in guter Lage, von der Ausstattung her schon sehr alt und vieles sollte modernisiert werden. Wir hatten ein Fenster zum Zimmer das war direkt vor einer Mauer und man konnte es nicht mal richtig zu machen dadurch…

Payment & property

- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Big Backpackers Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Big Backpackers Hostel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Big Backpackers Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does Big Backpackers Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Big Backpackers Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Big Backpackers Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
