An excellent run hostel with really helpful and friendly staff, who do know all their stuff and local knowledge. The place is so warm and clean and has a spacious kitchen, and if it is raining and you’re bored then there’s always the challenge of the indoor climbing hall. A fantastic place, one where I will come and stay again.

Nice hostel, not so hot in the fun stakes but since everyone is out walking or boarding all day people are pretty knackered in the evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and cleaned regularly as are all the common areas. Our room was pretty cold at night but there were plenty of blankets etc. Theres a few bars around the village if you fancy a (pricey) drink or two. Might be cool if the hostel ran some events like bbqs etc to get people mingling a bit. I would stay here again.

There where no lockers. Fun because are where 3 tables and at night no realy activity or a lot of people so not a lot of fun. Movies were good. Location you need to pay a lot to get to the NP. And there were no realy buses.

Great place to stay if you are going away for a ski weekend. It's a short stroll to the local backpacker pub which has meals and drinks.

We really enjoyed the accomodation close to the ski fields. Clean and easy to use facilities. The showers are great.
