I had a private room for 1 night which was comfortable, clean and quiet. The shared shower rooms were also very clean and well kept. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgable. There is a large well equipped kitchen and an excellent comfy lounge area. There is no WiFi, but there are 3 PC's to use free of charge.... More

We had a twin bed with ensuite in April time, more like a hotel than a hostel, with videos to choose from (yes vcr videos) smd DVDs for the main room. Book swap and laundry facilities, and a reasonably equipped kitchen. Beds were comfy and the place was kept very clean, though this was probably easier at the time of... More

All the double rooms are in the second building so we had a whole kitchen and living room to ourselves as everyone else was in the main building! We also arrived late after breaking down on route but the live in owner waited up for us to... More

The only problem was free wifi which was not available in the room .However that was not a major concern with the computers available in the ground floor . Well located and in 2 mins walk you get to the centre of the town... More

Very caretaking manager, many useful details (huge piles of fresh towels in the clean kitchen), good, calm site just a few steps off the main street; room was ok, bathroom almost new & clean - what else do you expect from a backpacker? The only disadvantage for fb-addicts: no free wifi, just two or three computers, always blocked, fee p.... More

I stayed here for 2 nights and everything was fine. I had a double room with a shared bathroom and it was all OK, but I didn't get the TV etc in the room that others have described. Pleasant communal area/TV room and good kitchen. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cafes, bars, shops, walk centre etc all close by, but... More

Not a backpacker that I would recommned to a friend. It was clean, but he facilities were very basic, and it did not have a very good vibe like other backpackers. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
