    Great staff that were very helpful. Very good location. I didn’t use the climbing wall but it was cool to have it as an option. Large kitchen and plenty of showers and toilets.

    Great central location, great price for what you get. If u get a room on the main street can be noisy but not too bad.

    I messaged to say I had a bad cough and I asked if I could change to a smaller dorm so I would disturb less people- they gave me a room to myself with extra blankets and towels, left chocolate and a note for me on my bed to get well soon! Staff...
