It was exactly what we needed. the instructions for late check-in were clear and much appreciated. The sight of complimentary earplugs on the nightstand made me a bit nervous, but it was surprisingly peaceful when we stayed (mid week)

Really lovely and helpful staff. We stayed in a private double room with views out over the lake. It was clean and comfortable and perfectly located to walk to most places we wanted to visit. For a Backpackers it was in great condition and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Free all day parking across the road.

I loved the simplicity of this place and the happy vibe of the young people. Reading other reviews, though, I think it would be wise to adjust the description on Expedia to clearly reflect that it isn’t a ‘retreat’ by any stretch of the imagination. But I really liked it. Thank you for a clean warm place to rest.

I immediately liked this place on approach from the street. I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff. I just loved the layout of the place, the way you stepped down into the common area. It was just a nices laid back, friendly vibe. The kitchen was nicely set up, the common area inviting. Thenrooms were very reasonable which allowed me to have my iwn room and bath. There was also small bar where I purchased a very nice NZ white wine at low cost.

Väldigt bra hostel, men har endast bott i ett dubbelrum med eget badrum, kändes som ett helt okej hotell och wifi var gratis. Finns en billig bar i receptionen och möjlighet att hyra cykel mm.

Very central hostel, clean and tidy with excellent staff help, close to food outlets. Not very sound proof but it wasn’t noisy the night I was there and a good sleep.
