    noisy atmosphere

    The kitchen really impressed me with its size. I felt at home cooking meals there. The quietness of my room was refreshing, enabling restful sleep despite the hostel's busy hours.

    The atmosphere in common areas can get loud at times.

    clean beds
    great breakfast
    friendly staff
    unreliable wifi

    We explored nearby trails and enjoyed fresh pancakes for breakfast. Showers were surprisingly nice even with tokens. Super clean and comfy beds! The staff gave awesome local tips and were super friendly.

    The wifi didn't work until staff arrived, which was a bit annoying and made checking out early a hassle.

    clean room
    decent size
    chill atmosphere
    no air conditioning
    limited shower time

    The single bed in the dormitory was clean and had a decent size. The atmosphere was pretty chill. The lack of air conditioning was noticeable, and sleeping with the window open was a bit unsettling. The showers were a trek from the room, and the 4-minute tokens felt limiting. Overall, it was okay, but not perfect.
