The manager was absolutely one of the hardest working hosts I have met. He never stopped helping any way he could. The hostel was full of hikers and easy to book hikes. Dorms were great.

Highly recommend staying at this hostel, whether you are looking for day hikes or multi-day hikes. The hostel staff are super helpful with tours, local knowledge, and 24 hour laundry service available. The free breakfast is eggs and bread which is a good way to start the day. Beds are super comfy, the only disadvantage is the lack of toilets/showers for the amount of people, which does mean a cold shower can be expected. Fellow hostellers were great - deffo stay here!
