Guests can choose between ‘pod’ dormitory rooms or private rooms with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster and electric kettle. Most rooms also have a TV. The pods feature a privacy curtain, a power point and a USB port. Chris, the owner, is a legend. He is running the place like a champ, from dusk till dawn, maintaining good humor and kindness in the process. The place is comfortable and of much better standard that other backpacker places we have visited before.
