部屋にあるシャワーヘッドが近代的で他のバッパーでは見たことがなく、共用バスルームのシャワーも含め水圧が充分あった。 シャワーカーテンの使い方を知らない人がいるのか、シャワールームの床はびしょ濡れだった。 ウォーターサーバーや給湯器がなくお湯は湯沸かし器で沸かさないといけなかった。 町まで少し歩かないといけないが、湖沿いを散歩しながら行けるので不便だとは思わなかった。町から離れている分静かに過ごせたと思う。

Decent hostel. Felt a bit dirty compared to other Haka hostels. Also didn’t have the friendly vibe which I had experienced elsewhere.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Overall good place but issues were as follows: - lockers in room were unusable as the beds backed onto the lockers so you couldn’t actually open the locker doors. This led to major storage issues in the 8 bed dorm and a rather cluttered room. - quite a walk into town compared with other places (I hurt my ankle on a trek though so may have felt longer than it actually was)

Worth a stay!
Comfortable bed and great having the curtain on the bed. Tiny room for 3 beds - tough to have 2 people sorting out kit let alone 3! Shower fans need a clean but overall great place to stay. Lovely outlook!

Room and bed was nice. Lockers in my room didn't open enough to get my backbag inside. Showers were quite dirty in the evenings so take your shower during the day.
