“Backpacker Inn appeals to budget-conscious travelers; think of functional rooms with air conditioning, plus practical touches like a microwave for quick meals. I noted that the entrance is controlled, offering some peace of mind, and despite the odd beetle sighting, it's a viable option for saving money. The sound isolation is not the best, but the location makes up for it; rooms offer comfort and small details for a good night's sleep.”
