The tent we stayed in was mouldy and stinky. Staff weren’t very friendly and/or helpful. There was no kitchen just a plate of dirty communal dishes.

This hostel is very well located and clean. However we found the atmosphere cold and not as friendly as we expect in hostel. Moreover, we were full in our dorm while other dorms were empty. They could have made less crowded dorms very easaly but they didnot. We found the price to high for the condition in the dorms and off season period.
