the people there have such good energy!

We got stranded at basecamp due to the weather alarm/storm in early april. We where lucky we did. Especially the people working there made our stay very, very, very pleasant. Great food in the restaurant as well, nice breakfast. We recommend staying in this place.

Recommended hostel

Brilliant value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. Has much much more to offer than a typical hostel. Dormitories and shared showers but place was very clean and tidy. Bar, hot tub, communal kitchen and/or restaurant.

Great place, amazing experience with lovely people.

Everything is kept very clean, the bed setting was comfortable (I had the best sleep ever), the whole hostel ambience was beautiful, they have their own restaurant and market was not too far away so there is no need to worry about food, and the best part was the outdoor hot bath -- so cozy and we were very lucky to see aurora during that night at the bath, it was magical. Its a plus that they have a mini kitchen for us to use

Cozy and friendly place

Everything is great here! Gina welcomed us with a smile and showed us around; she really made us feel like at home. The rest of the personnel were also great and very nice! The place is very cozy and it is in a perfect place to see the Aurora. The restaurant is also amazing; really recommend to try the Char!
