We arrived at around 8pm and the front desk had stayed open for us, we were welcomed by a super friendly lady who gave us our key. we were a group of 3 and had a 4-bed dorm room with bunkbeds and an ensuite to ourselves. The beds were comfy and we all slept well. We didn't use the communal areas as we arrived late and left early to go to zipworld which is a ten minute drive.

Claire

There is no signal or WiFi and that can be a bit problematic, but if you walk one minute in a certain direction you get signal so it’s manageable I believe it is bust to stay here if you have a car, but I did it on public transportation and I did fine!
