| Had a really nice stay. The staff were friendly, the rooms were nice, the kitchen was great for cooking meals and hanging out, there was plenty of parking, and the entire place was very clean.
The only negative thing I would point out is that the place could do with a few extra washers and dryers. There are three of each, although one of each were out of order while I was there. Given the number of people staying at the hostel, a few more could help ease the evening queues! | ||
