Lovely clean bedding & towels. Nice pillow!
Lou, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

There are people who stay there permanently, thus it felt more crowded than expected. Expect it to be way busier in summer months with the perms tourists. Had irresponsible people who didn't clean up their dishes and left it in the sink, food left untouched (for god knows how long) in the microwave toaster.

2/10 Poor

I left the property after 30 mins and look for another one . The room smell. Tower is not provided until requested. It should not promoted to travellers who are not backpackers.

Bo inte här
Till att börja med fick vi vänta på hostelvärden i en halvtimme för att checka in, trots att vi kom inom ramarna av check-in-tiden. Vårt dubbelrum liknade en fängelsecell, saknade avlastningsytor och kändes inte heller rent. Det gemensamma köket var smutsigt och kaosartat och kylarna var rent av äckliga. Vi fick inte heller checka ut i fred, utan femton minuter före utcheckningstiden stormade städpersonal in i rummet och började bädda ur sängarna, trots att både vi och våra tillhörigheter fortfarande var kvar i rummet.

A nice place to stay
The room was good as it was away from the main building. The provision of a computer was very handy. The 2.2 kilometres walk to the main part of town was a negative as I had no car.

清潔さではオススメ！
価格も割りとリーズナブルの方ですが、掃除もしっかり行き届いていていました。普通評価をした理由はシャワーがよくないからです。シャワーは5分でお湯が止まります。その後リクエストできるのは1回のみ。はじめの5分間が終わると、リクエストボタンを押しても2～3分待たなくてはなりませんでした。オーナー(旦那)の方は、すごく嫌みな人で感じが悪かったが、奥さんは優しく、可愛い看板犬のジャックラッセルがいた事が少し救いでした。
