Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
It was a decent stay. We liked how clean the room was and the other guests were also quiet and respectful. The hostel is a little run-down but overall clean and safe.
Beautiful setting. Common area was great. Accomodations were small for our group and toilet had issues.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean but very thin walls and we could hear the conversation from the room next to ours. Overall was a good one night stay on our road trip.
This hostel was good. Beds were comfy but the room was a bit small. The kitchen/dining area was nice but we could only find one bowl.
Overally it was a good place to crash for the night with some nice views in the area
Nice and clean place, bathrooms were a bit smelly and also not in the best condition, but clean.
The kitchen was okay, the view from the dining room is nice.
