    Good location in the town 3 floors bunk beds look hectic but the curtains, individual blowers and steadiness of the construction still make it peaceful (15 people sleeping the room) Social hostel with nice trips

    The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. There's a very friendly atmosphere and the breakfast is good. I liked the outside area and the location is good. It was social but not a party hostel. I did find the middle bunk a little scary with no wall/barrier on either side, if you roll over in your sleep.

    The hostel has a beautiful garden and space for workouts. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's great that there's a WhatsApp group and you have the opportunity to go hiking together every day. The diffrent hikings and activitis every day are all organised by the hostel.

    Maybe a little bit cleaner would be perfect !

    The dorms were a bit “roots” but it was fine, we had a curtain to be isolated! We felt like this was the place where we met the nicest people overall : very chill place. Its location allows you to go around all the hikes around. They even give you a book and pdf with all you need to know for the hikes! Very useful ! The kitchen is big and nice if you need to cook. There’s a yoga spot and a small garden behind where we chilled a lot ! Breakfast was included and very good !! They also make great smoothies.

    The fact that people were allowed to smoke in the garden sitting area. The pillows could do with replacing.

    We really enjoyed the open sitting area in the garden. The cooking facilities were also very good and we did enjoy the breakfasts.

    Ideal Location and Helpful Staff, But Some Room Drawbacks

    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    The room I stayed in did not have a bathroom, and the outside bathrooms were not always clean. The triple bunk bed setup, non-functional plug sockets, and the lack of an in-room bin—requiring you to go outside to dispose of trash—were disappointing, and the wifi was unreliable.

    The hostel features very kind staff, an ideal location, and a clean, well-equipped kitchen. The included breakfast is delicious, showers provide hot water, and there are plenty of places to relax and exercise. Additionally, they offer a wide range of activities, helpful assistance, a great laundry service, and towels are provided.

    The beds weren't the most comfortable. Kind of like the plastic mattresses you'd get at a kid's camp, but pretty beat up. However, everything else was so nice that I'm not even mad about it.

    I am a big fan of this hostel. The outdoor lounge space is one of the best I've ever seen, and their evening activities were very good for getting to know other people at the hostel. The staff is friendly and helpful and they have a whole book with information about the local buses, which is really hard to find elsewhere.
