"Wonderful,will definitely go back"

"My stay at Forty 8 Backpackers Hotel was very pleasant and enjoyable for me.I liked the location very much as it is central. The team were very nice and polite. The manager really went out of his way to ensure that my stay was fruitful, and worthwhile since I was looking for an apartment.I just wished they had done the floor rennovations when it wasn't peak time.Other than that I really enjoyed my stay."
