Simples, vale o custo benefício
Local simples, pecou um pouco pela limpeza das áreas comuns, porém tem uma boa cama e está situado em uma área muito tranquila da cidade.

8/10 Very good

Very unique and welcoming. I found the bed quite uncomfortable, but I was not expecting luxury, so, in balance, this was not bad. I really liked that the operator had put the heater on in our room. This kind of service is what makes a difference. My grandson loved the games room and rated the lodge as the best accommodation of our 10 trip.

10/10 Exceptional

The price was great and the location is ideal: close to everything yet quiet at night. It felt like a very nice community for all types of travellers and had a friendly and retro atmosphere.
DK, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was friendly and very helpful/informative about the area! Unfortunately the room did not seem to be cleaned properly - there were pills left on the floor, there was hair on the bathroom floor and wall, as well as a half used soap bar also covered in hair... If the room had been cleaned properly I think our overall experience would have been great. A little unfortunate but I guess that’s all part of the travel experience.

Typical backpacker style accomodation but my private room had an ensuite and there is a pool. The location is a bit out of the way though
