    The price of this place was really cheap, which was one of the few positive aspects. The free breakfast was also a nice addition, even though it was just basic cereal and bread with spreads. The location of the hotel was convenient, with most restaurants and bars within walking distance.

    Upon arrival, the manager seemed unfriendly and gave off a strange vibe. The room itself felt like a prison, with no windows and rickety bunk beds.

    my recent stay in hamilton was amazing, and Backpackers Central truly exceeded my expectations. the location was fantastic, within walking distance of restaurants and bars. the staff was friendly, and they even offered to lock up my motorbike for me. the room had everything i needed, including a bed, tv, fridge, and a toilet and shower. i especially appreciated the hair dryer and the warm room with the non-stop a/c pump. overall, a great experience.

    One small thing was missing - no soap provided for washing hands in the bathroom.

    I stayed at Backpackers Central for 8 nights and it was a great place to stay. The en suite bathroom provided privacy while showering, and the breakfast options were basic but satisfying. The location was fantastic, with several Indian, Thai, and Japanese restaurants just across the road. The room had a television for entertainment, and the lounge area was spacious and well-equipped. if I visit again, I would definitely choose to stay at this place.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The value for money at Backpackers Central was excellent, with a good-sized twin room and comfortable bed. The location was great, with nearby shops and restaurants, and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    The only improvement that could be made to breakfast items would be to offer a wider variety of options.

    I had a great overnight stay at Backpackers Central. The location was excellent and easy to find, which made it convenient for me to attend the rugby game and walk back from town afterwards. The room was cozy and had everything I needed, including a toilet, pedestal fan, and TV. The kitchen and lounge facilities were fabulous, and the parking was hassle-free on a Saturday night. The free WiFi and good security were definite pluses as well. I would recommend Backpackers Central for a comfortable and convenient stay.

    I had a big positive surprise during my stay at Backpackers Central! The double room I stayed in was incredibly clean, quiet, and spacious. I was pleasantly surprised to find a couch in the room as well. The kitchen in the attached building was also super clean and well-equipped. To top it off, parking and breakfast were included in the low price, which was a very nice bonus.

    I recently stayed at Backpackers Central for a few nights while backpacking. The staff at this busy hotel were lovely and super efficient. The rooms were immaculate and well appointed, with incredibly comfy beds. All the facilities were beautifully clean and the private room with a bathroom provided great value for money. The location was also convenient, being close to everything, and the free breakfast was a nice bonus. I was especially grateful for the kindness and professionalism shown by the staff during my stay, making me feel comfortable and welcome after a tough day.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    The value for money at Backpackers Central was amazing, considering the location. The room was spacious and had nice extras like a bar fridge and TV. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

    Hotel breakfast could be improved by having a wider time range for serving, as 8-9 was too late for us to enjoy it before leaving.
