One of the cleanest hostels I've stayed in, and really well organised with kitchen and fridge space. Staff very friendly and happy to recommend best activities/hikes in the area. Perfect size to encourage everyone to socialise and the TV area has a wide selection of movies. Would definitely stay again!!!
