The staff was exceptionally friendly. They were also very helpful. The owner was very pleasant and interacted with clients. They serve a pork spareribs that I found to be extremely good. Also, samosas I had was the best I have had in a very long time and I'm from Cape Town.

“Backpackers from hell”
The location was good, and easy to find, the barman that hand me my key was friendly, but I had to wait in the pub while he juggled himself between the patrons and booking me in

It was a really good price and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. They were extremely warm and welcoming. The whole dorpie was warm and receptive and I felt like part of the family after the weekend was done. It was clean and tidy and some of the older pieces in the room are solid wood and actually quite beautiful and unexpected for a backpackers.
