- "The place was beautiful and cozy, the room of 4 was really nice and some people might not like the beds but I LOVE them, they’re like futons and I slept so well. The views from the dining room are stunning and at night you walk either side and have amazing views of the mountains and the houses with their lights on. The staff really helpful and really nice too. I’m only sad I couldn’t stay for a lot longer. Coming back." - "The staff were best hostel staff EVER! Love them."
