Kayla, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beds were comfortable, quiet at night. We had workmen making building noise (banging, drilling) outside our room for both afternoons, which was really annoying and hopeless given the cost of the room. Overall, clean and well run, weird having to put our sheets out with the room cost!

The service here was amazing. But the only down side is it's so loud like you can hear everything it could just have been bad luck with the person next to our room.
Raphael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location and reasonable price
Gemma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well appointed comfortable dorm with 4 bunk beds, storage, curtains and individually compartmentalized. We were a family of 7 and with kids. Kids had a ball, large expansive kitchen with games section adjourning and the best but is it is a stone's throw away from the town with all the dining options avail.

Helen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay, great location.

Great place to stay! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The location was great, easy to walk to food, stores, etc. The kitchen facilities had everything you could possibly need. We had a room with a private bathroom, which was nice. The bed was really tight against one wall, making it necessary to climb in through the end, which was not the best. We could hear activity in the men’s bathroom on the other side of our wall, but fortunately it didn’t keep us awake. I would definitely stay here again.
Karen, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

When we arrived we found that the site had already charged the two nights that we booked. Despite having paid we found the conditions so awful that we did not stay, but easily found a nearby place that was cheaper and much better. I would say that the site and its system borders on unethical
