Positive: We loved the room (private room in the separate building) as our view was great and the room was great for what we needed. It was also easy to access the building and to find it! The staff were also great at helping us with recommendations for food and activities.
Negative: We would have appreciated knowing earlier that our room was in a separate building to the main hostel, as we were excited to be in the ballroom and mingle with other people easily. Although our room was great, we didn't end up attending any of the events or attending the breakfast in the main building as it was just easier for us to go out and about for the day instead of going from our building over to the hostel, and then out again.
Summary: Super clean and well maintained, great location with brilliant views and helpful staff.
