Good value backpacker pitstop

What we say: 
If you're travelling on a budget and looking for solid backpacker-style accommodation, look no further than Kuantan Backpackers. Located on the first floor above a row of shopfronts, Kuantan Backpackers offers female-only and mixed dorms with good, new beds with firm mattresses and enough space to move around in. There are also lockers (bring your own padlock) that are large enough for valuables and a daypack. A shared kitchen area offers full cooking facilities and there's also a small common area. All bathrooms are shared and are clean. Kuantan Backpackers is a five- to 10-minute walk to the river and five minutes to the bus station. Free WiFi throughout and bicycles are available for rent for 15 ringgit per day. Brand new and recommended.
