Location

Absolutely filthy. Room smelled really badly of damp and mildew, the whole place was tired and dirty. Our sheets weren't exactly clean, woke up with small bites all over my head (suspect bed bugs in pillow), kitchen facility dirty, shower/toilet block shared by 3 rooms, tired, didn't want to use shower. Reception area shut before times of closing, roof in dining area close to reception leaking. We had paid for 2 nights, left after one night but couldn't find staff to raise our concerns. Avoid at all cost

"Posizione comodissima per l’esplorazione del ghiacciaio e trail adiacenti."

8.0

Ampi spazi, parcheggio coperto per biciclette, staff molto disponibile. Caffè, tè e piccoli snack offerti ai clienti. Abbiamo avuto bisogno di un late check out e il responsabile si è adoperato per venirci incontro.

Pulizia un filino approssimativa. Niente di grave, ma non curatissimo.

Gute Lage, nett eingerichtet. Bei der Einrichtung hat man sich Mühe gegeben. Nette Idee Nudeln, Reis und Haferflocken kostenlos zur Verfügung zu stellen. Wir wurden freundlich und mit guten Tipps empfangen.

Nicht sehr sauber. Die Unterkunft war einer der eher schmutzigen Variante. Oberflächig wird gereinigt aber hin und wieder sollte man auch etwas mehr säubern. Im Zimmer waren spinnen und Spinnweben die hingen da vermutlich länger. Die Küche war solala sauber.

"Great stay, would recommend"

8.0

Really friendly and helpful staff, gave us great recommendations for our trip and onward journey too. Facilities are great, well stocked kitchen with cupboard staples available. Afternoon tea and snacks also provided! Really enjoyed our stay.

It is quite outdated but we felt it added to the charm of the hostel!
