Emil

United KingdomThe location was excellent if you like to wake up and go straight for a walk which we did. The staff were friendly and the room was clean and freshly made up. The children loved the communal room and pool table and the kitchen facilities were very good. We will definitely recommend and almost certain to use this hostel again!
Gavin

United KingdomThe location of course was perfect. Right outside the doors if the hostel are the trail heads for some of the most beautiful mountain hikes you can find. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is well stocked and organized. There is plenty of room in the dining area and lounge for relaxing.
