Chilli's Backpackers is in a great position on Mitchell Street where the majority of shops, bars and restaurants are located. You can see it from the transit centre where the Greyhound and airport shuttle buses drop off.
The double rooms are clean and have a small fridge, sink and lockable cupboards in them, but they do feel rather claustrophobic. The shared toilet and shower blocks are clean and not too crowded.
There is an open-sided area on the second floor containing the large kitchen and TV/Lounge area, which is nice to sit in when it gets hot. The reception area on street level has a number of Internet terminals and lots of information on trips around the local area.
Quite a young crowd stay at Chillis as the location is right on the main backpacker strip, and there are always plenty of people milling around in the lounge/kitchen areas. The hostel is always busy as the reception area also acts as an Internet cafe which non residents can use.
