Even thought the toilets and showers were clean they had a very unpleasant distinctive smell, most of the staff were lovely, over all stay was pleasant, but put this down to the wonderful people that I met there

The manager and owner of the hostel where very close minded and socially retarded. After being treated very bad and violently getting our bags put in the snow. I would never recommend anyone to stay there . They put a bad name to Y.H.A . All in all I think they need medical attention because there taking crazy pills .

My partner and I checked into this hostel with a group of eight others for a two night stay. Over both nights we found a male member of staff to be very rude and have limited people skills. When an incident arose he failed to diffuse the situation, instead he swore and made threats at our group and made other guests at the hostel feel uncomfortable. Throughout our stay he conducted himself in an inappropriate and unprofessional manner. We advise not to stay here.

The staff were extremely rude after a disagreement between a friend and a fellow resident and I felt that they handled the situation very poorly. I found there behaviour very aggressive and intimidating especially after they through my friends luggage out of the hostel. They even tried preventing us from using the kitchen to make breakfast and went as far as to turn of the gas. The whole situation can only be explained due to the fact that they are social retards.
