| Good location and friendly staff. Staff travel information wasnt always correct but they tried their best. When we booked a 4 bed dorm we didnt expect to be bunked in with 20 other people, with only a partical wall dividing us. It was noisy and people were not considerate, if we had know we would have booked the cheaper 10bed dorm, because it was the same experience anyway. | ||
