Best equipped and organised kitchen I've seen so far, and the staff was very friendly and supportive. I had a sprained ankle, and they reserved me a bottom bunk-thank you!

They habe everything you need. The staff is sipercfridndly and helpful with everything. The rooms were really great. We had a private double room which was quite small but really comfortable and great designed. The toilets and baths were also really clean. My sister slept kn a womens dormitory and it was really spacious and nice as well. They do have alot of activities and the restaurant is a must visit. We are coming back!
