“The Only Backpacker's Inn is an adults-only space right by Donlands station, making getting around the city simple; it features a cafe and rock bar downstairs that makes the place quite lively. I appreciate that they provide basics like towels and soap, plus laundry facilities for a small fee. For a simple, budget-friendly stay with a social atmosphere, it's a solid choice.”
