Ok so for $40 I guess there is a little, you get what you paid for... dirty stained bed linen, didn't want to even sit on the bed. Lucky for us we only booked this place as our flight was delayed so just needed a room for 8hrs to shower and were not sleeping there thank god!!! ... Mould in shower but water pressure was good, curtains stained furniture chipped, something splattered on mirrors... I'm sure a black light would have brought up some unsightly bodily fluids... not sure what a backpackers would be like, but I assume it would be something like this... good location though, if you don't mind sleeping in somebody else's filth...
