Was a lovely place, had lots of people there for Raggamuffin weekend which I think added to the vibe. The 39 degree pool was a bit hot for summer but would've been fantastic in the colder months. Definitely would stay there again :)

This was one of the dirtiest places I've ever stayed in. My bed was covered in dirt and the pillow had a layer of filth on it. Thankfully I had a camping pillow which I used instead. The curtains on the door were moldy and the room was tiny. The kitchen and bathroom where not any better. We were required to pay for both nights upon arrival and felt cheated when we saw our room. We were also misinformed about our room location and restaurants in the area.

Nice friendly hostel. Was clean and tidy and I liked the heated floors in the lodge bathroom.
