Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Overall good place but issues were as follows: - lockers in room were unusable as the beds backed onto the lockers so you couldn’t actually open the locker doors. This led to major storage issues in the 8 bed dorm and a rather cluttered room. - quite a walk into town compared with other places (I hurt my ankle on a trek though so may have felt longer than it actually was)

Worth a stay!
Comfortable bed and great having the curtain on the bed. Tiny room for 3 beds - tough to have 2 people sorting out kit let alone 3! Shower fans need a clean but overall great place to stay. Lovely outlook!

Room and bed was nice. Lockers in my room didn't open enough to get my backbag inside. Showers were quite dirty in the evenings so take your shower during the day.
