The room is clean but small. It is a youth hostel. The shower and toilet are public spaces. The cooking area is large. It is in the center of the town. You must go to eat lobster BBQ.

Had a private room with ensuite, room was clean and nice. Nice shower water pressure in the bathroom.
Cons: there were 3 kitchens with the main one being extremely dirty where the occupants would leave dirty dishes and used pots overnight. One pot with tomato pasta sauce was left for 2 nights and still not cleaned, butter knife also left out after using. One of the sink leaked water, and water overflowed to the floor. A couple of us cleaned it up and posted a sign that it was out of order. The next day, it was filled with dirty dishes and flies were hovering around it. No coffee or tea in theain kitchen. Very lacking and unorganised. The admin team should do something about the cleanliness and noncompliance of the occupants for everybody's peace of mind.

Great location with a very friendly and knowledgeable manager . The cleaners seemed to need a little guidance , I arrived after the cleaners and it could have been done a little more precisely - but that is backpackers I guess . My room and bedwere very comfortable , and I enjoyed my stay .

Friendly team and great facilities. We look forward to coming back when the weather is warmer and the cafe and pool are open.
Well equipped kitchen facilities providing 180⁰ views of the mountains whilst cooking.
Great location being centrally located on the main road a 5 minute walk from the town centre.
