    The kitchen is super small and there is no oven or hobs, which is essential

    The base camp was amazing! The location and the facilities were excellent. There was also a jacuzzi that we really enjoyed

    The staff was wonderful! I was a late check-in, as sometimes my adventures go past midnight. They made it easy for me, and the bed was super comfortable. Some of the cleanest showers and toilets I've ever seen at a hostel. Only recommendation I would make is something a lot of hostels could do... The building needs fresh air with all the human activity inside, and I'd love to be able to have a window open somewhere.

    Food is a bit expensive for a sole traveler (especially for a student). But there is a conveniene store nearby that you can buy whatever you want.

    They maintain the place very well and like their unlimited hot tea, coffee and hot chocolate service.

    Absolutely nothing!

    This was our favourite place we stayed on our trip. The staff were friendly and helpful. The complimentary coffee and tea was also a highlight. They had lots of showers and bathrooms which were clean. The sauna and hot tub were unreal with the amazing views of the mountains which definitely made this a highlight of our trip. We ate dinner at their restaurant and had a delicious burger. They had a comfortable common room and a wall full of sticky notes of other travellers. The 6 bedroom dorm room dorm room was very comfortable with a curtain pulled across and storage for our luggage.

    We got stranded at basecamp due to the weather alarm/storm in early april. We where lucky we did. Especially the people working there made our stay very, very, very pleasant. Great food in the restaurant as well, nice breakfast. We recommend staying in this place.

    Breakfast nothing special for what you pay but handy option for our mixed group and fed our hungry teenagers.

    Fabulous to stay with teenagers. Great public pool with fitnesd, open air pool, jaccuzi and sauna. Was great after a long day. Staff was so nice in getting some way to stream the Irish soccer match. Lovrly bubbly staff. Coffee and tea all day for everyone. Great base to discover the south.

    Microwaves, utensils, sink, fridges etc in the communal kitchen - but only thing possibly missing, a hot plate for cooking???

    Brilliant value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. Has much much more to offer than a typical hostel. Dormitories and shared showers but place was very clean and tidy. Bar, hot tub, communal kitchen and/or restaurant.

    The kitchen was rather small and didn't have a stove- there were microwaves and a refrigerator, however.

    Staff were very friendly and there was free coffee and tea for guests. We had bad weather, and they told us we could check out of our rooms but hang out in the common area to wait for the weather to pass. The common are was very cozy and inviting. The hot tub on the roof was quite nice.
