I thought the hostel would be in better condition. It is outdated and needs refurbishing. Only bathroom provision was a pump handwash on basin. Definitely not recommending for the price paid.

Vi hadde bestilt og betalt for ekstra seng, synd det ikke opplyses om at dette kun var en madrass på gulvet, da hadde vi nok valgt en annen romtype. Det var mye støv under sengen, der var det ikke støvsugd. Den ene puten på rommet var så flat og full av klumper, at det ble kjøpt en egen ny på Jysk. Litt skuffende svar ifra de ansatte at man ikke kunne forvente at det er som et hotell når man sover på hostell når man gir en tilbakemelding. Man har fremdeles betalt for en seng og sove i. Men veldig god seng (bortsett fra puten), og fint rom med balkong. Sentral beliggenhet og fint område. Veldig kjekt med verandaen/sitteplassen utenfor resepsjonen. Flott med gratis kaffi.

Hei, Helt perfekt beliggenhet, rolig sted, bare hyggelig betjeninger, reint og fint. Fin og lun ute plass. Drikke og yoghurt i kjøleskap. Det var tomt for yoghurt den ene dagen. Jeg gav beskjed til betjeningen, ikke lenge etterpå var det yoghurt på plass igjen i kjøleskapet. Alltid kaffi og te klar. 👍🌞 Kort vei - så var du midt i «byen». Jeg var bevist og bestilte rom med balkong. Da kunne jeg sitte utenfor på balkongen og nyte fin været, lese bok eller bare slappe av. Egen gratis parkeringsplass.? Jeg var kjempe fornøyd med mine 4 netter hos dere. Her kommer jeg igjen neste sommar. 👍🌞Har allerede anbefalt stedet deres til mine venner og betjente. Mandal er byen i mitt hjarte. 😍 tusen takk for meg.
