I think this property is more suited to much younger people than my 72 years. I didn’t realise this when booking. No television in room not good. Also the base of the shower was very slippery when wet. Lovely man at reception.
Very welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make my stay more comfortable. Good basic facilities and close enough to everything. Value for money.
Good stay. I was in a one room suite and enjoyed the accommodations as well as the staff. The place has more of motel vibe. Wished there was the ability to lock items in a space in the room.
For almost $150 the room was very small, and very warm. No airconditioning, not even a fan.
The place is a youth hostel and older adults should not even think about staying there.
