to get started.

When you stay at a hostel things are different. Take your shoes off at the front door, tiny room, strip your bed, bath across the hall, lots of communal space with donated furniture, big kitchen with lots of equipment and we had all that. The space was clean and neat and the beds were comfy. Thought it was nice for the price.

James, United States of America

Clean, good breakfast, and near a real grocery store. Not one of those convenience stores. Also several places to eat nearby. Centrally located to head out for a day of adventure. A short drive to host springs. Hostel staff were extremely nice and helpful. Bed was very comfortable. Wifi was good.

Wayms, United States of America

Tha place was perfect, the room, the common areas, the kitchen fully equipped and with enough tables, chairs and stoves, 4 complete bathrooms completely clean. I forgot my jacket and I noticed 2 days after my checkout, I contacted the staff by email and they helped me, so it´s also secure!

Fher, Mexico

Kitchen was a plus. Good location—walking distance to stores and restaurant ants

Daewon, South Korea

The receptionist was really kind and available. There was a big kitchen (that we didn't use) that seemed very well equipped and nicely labelled. The showers were extremely clean. The toilets were very clean as well. Having a hot tub was cool (water at 39-40°C)

A cosy and welcoming place, the staff were super helpful and even gave suggestions of where to eat that evening. The breakfast is well worth the extra money as it consists of home made waffles. The bedroom was warm and comfortable, and the facilities were nice and clean. The hot tub is worth relaxing in, and soaking after a long day.

Didn't feel extremely comfortable here. The room layout isn't very private and you can hear everything echo down the halls under the room door. Breakfast is not included and is defiantly NOT worth $8 per person.
The common rooms were cozy (kitchen and dinning).

My room was in a building nearby the main building. Being unfamiliar with the area I drove around a bit before I found my destination, as the building was tough to find in the dark.
Upon check-in I was informed that my original booking was unavailable, but I was upgraded free of charge.
