Cactus Jack Backpackers Review

the lady in the front dest ruined my day! They charged $20for the key more than I paid for the room$17.5.
I am budget traveler and just searched here is the cheapest place in the whole town. But now I paid $37.5just for a -8mixed bed...they should point out that the room key is $20 if you don't check-out before 10am when I checked-in...she only told me in the morning got all the sheets to the front desk. Why not the deposit money for the key is just $10!?So in bad mood!!!
Bloody people.

Best experience ever!
Upon arival me and my brother were having second thoughts, although the reception staff and perminent residents were all lovely welcoming people. We booked another night due to enjoying ourselfs there

After reading the reviews I was a bit skeptical however it was super clean, had lots of bathrooms and common areas and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. They offer discounts for a lot of the activities around the place and are happy to go out of their way to help you out even offering advice on FREE attractions. Would definitely recommend staying here especially for bigger groups

I personally enjoyed my stay here. I had my own room with a double bed which was warm and very comfortable, heater in the room made a very cold night into a very warm night. Loved the painted horse on my door of my room. My only qualm was the toilets ( I used) had no wash basin in them, so I resorted to washing my hands in the shower.

I did not have a good experience in this hostel. There had been a spate of burglaries before I arrived, I had my headphones nicked when I left them out. The whole place seemed extremely run down and old. Also the ladies toilets did not have a curtain so when getting changed someone could easily watch from outside. Whole place gave me a really creepy vibe and did not feel safe there. The staff Amanda was really nice.

Paul will receive you with a smile and a couple of jokes. The place can be odd at some points but definitely charming.

Great staff and much better than I expected for the price! Clean rooms and good showers, free WiFi and a friendly atmosphere. Our double room was small but comfy enough.

Really peacfull place, I've been there many years ago, but at least a good comment remaind a good comment!
Thanks a lot, I'll come back there if the border'll open again! ;)
