Great option on the WHW

Pros: The location of this hostel is amazing. The interior of the lobby makes you feel very cozy.

Cons: It would be better if there’s more sockets in the dorms, and separate head lamps by the bed.

Delightful stay. One of the highlights of our journey

Pros: The staff were very friendly and accommodating and helpful. We were made to feel very welcome. Our room view was stunningly beautiful. Everywhere was immaculately kept.

Cons: Breakfast is basic - but in fairness, this is what it was sold to be. So no complaint.

Nice comfortable stay.

Pros: The hostel was located right next to a beautiful lake. The washrooms are clean and well maintained. The breakfast was simple but more than adequate. The bunk beds are comfortable and the linen is clean.

Cons: The room we had had six bunk beds. It was a mite crowded with six of us moving around. It had only one set of double electrical sockets which was inadequate for all of us.
