Guest review
10.0Absolutely stunning location. I loved the old school grandma kind-of vibe of the place with the old photos and all. Bed was comfy, blackout curtains in each bunk bed was very welcome. Manager was super attentive and flexible to help when needed. Overall I'd say 10 out of 10
− The building felt a tiny bit dated, but hey for the amount of facilities available (gym, pool table, 2 kitchens, free pressed coffee, etc) I can't complaint
Lovely, affordable, cosy place with abundant activities and facilities, and welcoming staff.
9.0The beds were so comfy & room was super warm. Didn't end up using these things unfortunately but loved that there was a pool table, a hot tub, board games, and morning tea available.
− Only thing I can think of are the showers, they were absolutely fine just didn't like them because of the lack of space within the shower itself.
Lean, tidy and warm - what more could you want!
6.0Good value for money and warm for the middle if winter; good centre village location
− Definitely a bit tired, needs some tlc, but clean and tidy
Friendly guy running the facility
9.0Handy walking distance to everything
− Second story. No lift
Comffy stay
7.0Walking distance from the glacier
− Little bit more cleaning will make it look beautiful
Good to know
