I had a private room with my own washroom. It was lovely and clean. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had plenty of hot water (that was desperately needed after all of the hiking and driving that day). The kitchen had everything needed to make food and the lady at reception was really nice. I would stay here again.

This property was beyond what we expected. It had everything we needed to make our own meal. Everything seemed brand new and extremely clean. I would stay here again and highly recommend it.

This was probably one of the best hostels we've ever stayed in. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and everywhere was spotless. Washing facilities were expensive but easy to access. There was a faint odour in our room and it's a bit chilly to open the window to air it out in winter, but this wasn't a huge issue. Parking was free and convenient.
