I had a private room with my own washroom. It was lovely and clean. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had plenty of hot water (that was desperately needed after all of the hiking and driving that day). The kitchen had everything needed to make food and the lady at reception was really nice. I would stay here again.

This was probably one of the best hostels we've ever stayed in. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and everywhere was spotless. Washing facilities were expensive but easy to access. There was a faint odour in our room and it's a bit chilly to open the window to air it out in winter, but this wasn't a huge issue. Parking was free and convenient.

This was a nice hostel in a good area. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to take off your shoes any time you are inside, you may want to bring slippers/flip flops to wear while indoors. Also, they have multiple fridges but the freezer is only accessible by the staff so they have to be on site for you to put things in or take things out of the freezer.
