The hostel is essentially in the middle of a resort, surrounded by farmland, only 10 minute walk from the centre of town. This is not a party hostel, but was still very easy to make friends and organise activities. Nice bathrooms and modern facilities. A special shout out to Ron who was continuously checking in to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. Free tea and coffee and a lift to the bus station after check out were also nice touches.
