View from the hostel is great. Showers are good, big lockers in rooms! Very clean as well.
Steep walk (for 3-4min) up the hill to access but the view is nice.

Cosy feel, safe, clean, has all the facilities you could need. Awesome location - great views and a short walk into the town centre.
Parking at and near the lodge is very limited, had to park 5 minute walk away.

It was a first and a last for me.
No parking, layout of the rooms, No privacy, untidy, and very stressful.
