    Superb

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Warm in the rooms, nice staff, great location, affordable There was no light above the shower so it was hard to see and the water temperature would suddenly change to cold when it was turned to the hottest (not the best in winter). But it was super affordable so.

    Bad

    The rooms are not connected to the rest of the spaces with internal corridors, so you have to always go outside to reach places like the bathrooms, lounge and kitchen. It wasn't a big problem, but just something to be aware of.

    The backpackers was really good, a very friendly atmosphere, good kitchen facilities and the spa and sauna are fantastic. The rooms are not connected to the rest of the spaces with internal corridors, so you have to always go outside to reach places like the bathrooms, lounge and kitchen. It wasn't a big problem, but just something to be aware of.

    Awesome bed, room, common room, location and hot tub. We stayed in the private room with a double bed. Shares bathrooms were small and had no wear to put dry things when showing.
