Sweet old building with a great kitchen, or reasonably priced restaurant if you don't want to cook. The rooms were basic but absolutely did the job. The view out the back is beautiful.

The location is beautiful, felt like a real adventure. All the staff members were incredibly nice and helpful, we truly felt welcomed. We were surprised to find out that there is a bar that offers a couple of meals – a great bonus since it is quite far to walk to a restaurant or shop. We paid extra for a breakfast, which was very good and felt like good value. There were also games we could borrow in the dining area to pass time in the evening after a hike.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
