We are a family of three, parents with a teenager, staying here for two nights. Our room has an outdoor table and four chairs, so we had our take-outs in the second evening and enjoyed the fantastic panoramic view. The location is at the end of an uphill. It's very quiet. We really loved the atmosphere during sunrise and sunset.

Everything was fantastic. The hostel staff created a social, relaxed, but professional / well-run atmosphere. It was an optimal mix -- social hostel that attracted a lot of backpackers in their 20s / 30s, but since many people are there for hiking & are waking up early, it wasn't a party hostel where your roommates are all out until 1AM or later (although if that's what you're after, people definitely did go out). Lots of spots to hang out, meet people, or find your own little corner both inside and outside. The kitchen was large and clean, loved the hot chocolate cake event every evening. Also an incredible value for price
