Loved the building and the host. The property was clean and quiet and convenient to have the large kitchen and laundry facilities. The beds were passable.

Mysigt vandrarhem

10.0

Ett trevligt vandrarhem som var rent och snyggt och mysigt inrett i skotsk stil. Köket var välutrustat och rent. Vi kunde köpa till frukost utan att ha förbeställt vilket vi uppskattade. Värden var mycket trevlig.

Beautiful views and friendly staff! It was a little confusing on how to get inside after hours but we managed! Having showers/bathrooms close to our room was great as well.
