Gecko's Rest Budget Accommodation & Backpackers

Bad

Inexpensive and efficient.

Liked: Cheryl, the receptionist and manager deserves 12/10. She takes the times to chat with the customers as if we're very welcome. 1 room: 3 beds, 3 desks, 4 chairs, enough outlets and a small fridge. Great ambiance to meet people. Great location and pretty secure. We receive a towel, utensils, plates ... at check-jn.
Disliked: A little old, missing lightning in the room.

Wouldn’t recommend

Liked: The lady at the desk was super nice
Disliked: The room we were assigned smelled so badly and musty. The air con leaked a black liquid down the walls and a hole in the ceiling was covered with tape. Wasn’t a very safe feeling and ended up leaving

I'll think twice

Liked: The location was good. There was a very nice mural painted on the upper half of the wall behind my bed.
Disliked: The person took forever to come to the reception desk. I had to ring the bell multiple times.The lock was awkward - initially my key would not open it and I had to get another key.I had no idea that there were no towels in the room, so showering was awkward.

Exceptional

Liked: Good people, and good attention

Good

It's a hostel you get...

suits low budget travellers

Liked: close to river and bus and shops
