Princeton Backpackers

This place has a very accommodating staff, very clean rooms (ask for one away from the street, though) and comfortable beds (I only tried one, alone). There are lots of outlets to recharge anything. It's a secure place for women — you need a pass for all doors, even the elevator. It's very close to museums, and downtown. There's Asian cuisine on the premises, and a sushi place! Across the street, two coffeehouses await you. Really, I have only good things to say except there was no Olympic-sized pool. I will be back!

This place is amazing. We booked a double room for one night and found ourselves with a modern, funky apartment. The decor is very modern, minimalist and functional, with lots of electric gadgetry. The rooms were small, but so well designed you didn't mind, and the big windows and white color scheme makes it feel bigger. Our room had a television, heated towel rail and a very comfy double bed. We shared a bathroom and small kitchen area with another room. They were all immaculate and modern with toaster, fridge, microwave, kettle and a clean and modern bathroom. The location is okay, only five-minute walk into town, and some of the rooms have fabulous views of the city. Security is tight and the lifts and doors only open using an electronic tag. If you want to meet people I wouldn't stay here. It has a residence-hall feel and few communal areas. I would recommend this hostel to people looking for long-term accommodation or a luxurious room at backpacker rates to chill out in for a couple of days.
