Backpackers Imperial Hotel appears to carry a charming facade, yet its maintenance of cleanliness presents numerous challenges. While some bathrooms received praise for their cleanliness, overall hygiene throughout the property was a common concern. Rooms were described as tidy enough, and even comfortable, but the communal areas were frequently noted as being in need of more robust cleaning. Kitchens, in particular, were often overcrowded and messy, with reports of dirty fridges and outdated equipment. The age of the building is apparent, contributing to its run-down vibe with worn carpets and creaky floors. Despite the affordable pricing, guests consistently encountered issues with uncleanliness, citing the need for more frequent upkeep. The efforts in keeping some areas clear did not fully extend across the facility.
