“This place has a distinctly cool vibe, expanding beyond the usual dorms to include powered tents and campervan spots. The communal kitchen and bar areas are central to the experience, fostering a social atmosphere that doesn't demand late-night partying, and the staff seems eager to help with bookings and trip planning. While it's a bit removed from the main drag, the chill environment and unique accommodation options make it a worthy choice.”
