Please don't advertise that there is a free breakfast and then just provide a cereal bar. Could have done with some more pots and pans. Everything else was top quality.

Thanks for your comments. I'm pleased to see you had an excellent stay. I'm sorry if there was some miscommunication, but we don't advertise a breakfast. We offer free coffee & tea all day, and free cereal bars from 7am - 11am. Thanks for letting us know about the pots & pans. We'll put more out in the kitchen. Greg, Manager

Colour on the walls. It is so grey and feels like a hospital. Or murals. Organise group activities: hikes, bike rides, walking tours, pubcrawl done by the staff to let guests interact with eachother. No I needed to do this all by myself with a piece of paper.

Thanks for your comments. I'm pleased to see you had an excellent stay. We've been recently renovated with a colour scheme chosen by a designer in conjunction with our regional office. Unfortunately, we're still waiting on new artwork. We do offer hostel activities such as our free wine & cheese and BBQs to help guests try and meet each other. We'd like to do even more, but we don't have the budget for an activities coordinator. Greg, Manager
