Cheapest in town, but not worth $85

Site manager/caretaker was nice, room was clean, toilets in the morning not so as to be expected with many people waking up at the same time. Advertised breakfast on hotels.com and on their flyer/map but did not supply breakfast, bit of a false advertising. Only stayed 1 night so can't say much about it. Bed made a squeeky sound and so did the neighbors! People confusing rooms and knocking on our and others doors. Bit expensive $85 for a backpacker, lucky I used a $45 free night discount voucher.

Vending machine didn't work. Though not allowed to smoke in the premises, the layout of the place had the smoke blowing in anyway. The staff were phenomenal. It was clean, and certainly covered what I needed for a night.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Never again

Was booked into single room, which comprised of bunk beds. Check in was quick with no problems, gentleman at reception was friendly. This is where the good points stoped. Breakfast included, which comprised of two bins of unsliced bread and rolls, no set up with butter or spreads. This is true backpacker style. Location good.

Halfway house

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless your in dire straits for accomodation. Broken toilets, shopping trolleys of dirty old clothes around the place. Dirty laundry all through the bathrooms, no shower screens or doors in bathrooms and the general feel about the place was of a half way house with slobby sloth men lying around the places lounge areas picking there noses and wiping it all over the furniture. Don't do it

When you just need a bed for the night

I stayed here briefly overnight with 3 of my children. Check in was super easy, the room was clean, bathroom was clean, and the beds were comfy. Best thing was once we went to bed super early, we didn't hear any noise from any of the other people staying! Only problem is the check out time, I had to check out at 7, couldn't do it until 8, so just gave the keys to the night clerk and left without getting the $10 key deposit back.

Location location

If you are after an affordable and convenient bed for the night the bunbury backpackers is pretty good. I found the parking really handy too and the gate is locked at night so it's nice and secure. Late check-in is only downside but apart from that it's value for money.
