Aspen Lodge Backpackers

Crap hostel, you should not stay here. It’s barely any cheaper than some of the nicer hostels in town with a worse location and awful dorms. The top bunks are nigh on impossible to climb into and there is no shelf or anything like that by the bed to leave things like your glasses. No plug by your head I was only able to charge my phone in bed because I have a 2m cable. No lockers in the rooms and no personal reading light either. 0 water pressure in the shower and the toilet flush was very loud.

We had an issue whilst we were there and the stuff were super helpful sorting this out and moved us to a private room. The atmosphere is very young and lots of partying/drinking which was not really our vibe. A lot of the other guests were not very considerate with noise or cleanliness. The private rooms were absolutely lovely though. Amazing location, super close to town. A lot of people staying there long term which affected the atmosphere. Kitchens were well stocked, could do with more sofas

I liked it. I had good westher and a private room. The kitchen/lounge was in a separate area, which was accessed by going outside, so it could be tricky in bad weather, but it's only a few stairs, so nothing major to backpackers!
