The Jack Backpackers
7.0/10
Posted on May 21, 2021
Susan0817Due to the epidemic, the included dinner is weak, and the information has not been updated. The front desk service is still good. However, this hostel has a bar next door, so the rest environment is very poor. On the first night, the sound of the bar can still fall asleep. On the second night, the concert started, and it was not possible to sleep until 2 AM After 2 o'clock, I was affected by the first half of the night and did not enter deep sleep. Not suitable for normal rest and accommodation, people who want nightlife and drinking can live here
