View from dining room - excellent. Kitchen - fully equipped. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean toilets.

"Good place for short stay"

7.0

The views are absolutely the highlight!

Bit further from town, and up a steep hill. Kitchen and bathrooms not incredibly clean and small, but sufficient for a short stay.

"Good value for money; quite cosy."

8.0

Cool backpackers for a reasonable price.

It does feel a bit dated. It also seems to be very popular with very young people (think noise, drinking), but they were certainly not the most boisterous I have come across.
