Check in was easy and efficient. The rooms were secure, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast included in the price was great.

I liked the feeling of community. Staff and guests were friendly. The walls were very comfortable thin so sound was an issue when sleep was needed.

This hostel was great. We had a private double room with shared bathroom. Very clean, provided towels and basic toiletries, arrangements for late check-in. Great location.

Nice hotel, handy location!!

Pros: As mentioned earlier, excellent and very accommodating staff and kitchen facility comes very handy.
Cons: Only one thing I would recommend is to perhaps have wheel stoppers on the bed as moved very easily and found them to be an OSH issue as the wheels rol
Location: Very handy. Close to all shops and restaurants and only about 4-5kms from the glacier.
Great accommodation facility. Had only booked for a night for a stopover purpose but was impressed with the service and accommodation facility altogether. There is a common kitchen and lounge area and very tidy and found to be well equipped for anyone to use it. Complimentary soup service on a cold winter night, was the best gesture their side I believe. Also, staff are very accommodating. As mentioned earlier, we were only stopping by for a night and had Ro leave early in the morning and staff kindly offered to put out breakfast half an hour earlier, so we could have breakfast before we left early in the morning. Overall, a great experience.

Great location and the reception staff were very helpful, even walking us to our room. The noisy neighbours were the only disappointing thing.
