Launceston Backpackers

The staff creates a welcoming atmosphere while efficiently managing bookings. The location is convenient for accessing parks, supermarkets, and restaurants. Spacious rooms have good temperature control and offer extra blankets.

I had booked two nights and was asked to leave after one. I get that some people may not want to hear the throes of passion outside my door, but anyone offended by such delicious delicacies as the Jordanian and Japanese man I had a round with that day, don't have to stick around to listen to be honest. I am an adult, and this establishment has only other adults in the vicinity. Even still I paid for a private room, and I have every right to that privacy, especially what happens within the confines of said room. The attendant did not give any reasonable grounds to remove me, and another female, who had decided to take up residence in my room for the evening. She had paid for her own room, but did not utilize it on this night because my energy was too delicious to refuse. He was very abrupt, abrasive and unprofessional in his dealings - I was actually quite embarrassed for all parties, especially the attendant. What a Prude! I would not recommend if you were just passing through for a good time. You might find their babysitter tactics a bit untoward, but hey different strokes for different folks. Workers or the elderly are more appropriate; especially welcome are asexual, as they will not howl at the moon at all hours of the night during a half waxing moon. It's more of a working hostel, that is a bit too strict. This was as fair as I could be in this review, because like.... really? LOL!!!!
