    I really enjoyed staying af Flaming Kiwi Backpackers! There was plenty of storage and the rooms/bathrooms/kitchen/sharing spaces got regularly cleaned. It had a very nice “homey” feeling. Especially the manager Emilia made you feel super welcome...

    Easy check-in process, even later in the day. The rooms were very quiet in the evening and night time. Two kitchens is also very nice to have available.
