    I had an amazing time staying at Frienz Backpacker! I was here for a week-long vacation and it exceeded my expectations. The location was perfect, with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were spacious and clean, and I loved the well-maintained kitchen and bathroom facilities. The hostel had a great atmosphere and I met some awesome people from all over the world. The nightly poker and board game sessions were a blast. If you're looking for a comfortable place to stay and meet cool people, I highly recommend it.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing all the basic amenities I needed for my stay. I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast that was included with my room. It was a great value for money and I would definitely stay here again.

    The double room was awesome! It had its own private entrance, making me feel like I had my own little hideaway. Plus, the microwave was super convenient for quick and easy meals.

    But honestly, I didn't really dig the bed linen. It just didn't feel as cozy as I would have liked.

    Great value for money and amazing location near restaurants and shops. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the laundry facilities were convenient for long-term stays.

    The mattresses were thin and uncomfortable, and the rooms could have been cleaner. there was no free WiFi and the other guests were not always respectful of shared spaces.
