We booked a 6-bed dorm and a bed in a 4-bed dorm. The staff are very welcoming and helpful, and the hostel is very well maintained. Thank you for everything!

The photos are very flattering, but it's not like that at all. The food was bad and cold, and the bathrooms smelled of urine. The toilets were full of urine, and the bathrooms were covered in hair, grass clippings, and dirt. There were bloodstains on the mattresses. I absolutely do not recommend this place. I'm giving it one star because I can't give it zero. (Night spent here for a school trip on March 20th; about 25 people will not be returning.)
