Backpackers Imperial Hotel

Long and the short of it is you get what you paid for. There is a reason this place is rated as low as it is and it shows when you stay there. You will find that the only warm place in the building is the lounge on the second floor next to the kitchen. The laundry room is only open from 9am to 2:30pm with the added bonus of it being $16 total(8 for a wash, 8 for a dry) over priced to everywhere I have been and the other hostels in the area.

TLDR: stay at the pickled frog or one of the caravan parks. I had the worst stay experience on my life here. Rude staff who didn’t bother to explain anything or return phone calls or emails, double booked rooms so when I checked in at 1 am all the beds in the room I’d booked were taken. The staff member was clearly very drunk when I called the after hours help number. I was assigned a bed in a more crowded dorm then I paid for without a key. So I was unable to use the toilet or shower without loosing access to my room. I was refused a refund or any apology’s.
