What guests think
At Garden Lane Backpackers, travellers highlight a walkable location, friendly staff, clean shared spaces, and communal facilities like kitchens, lounges, laundry and an elevator, balanced by basic breakfasts, bathroom bottlenecks, occasional maintenance issues, and noise from guests or nearby streets.
Dorms and private rooms are generally comfortable, with bed curtains, secure storage and decent mattresses, though several guests noted short beds or flat pillows and the odd sagging mattress. Secure parking is available, though early-morning gate access can be slow. Overall, expect a low-key, budget-friendly base with simple perks and some shared-space trade-offs.
