Stayed here twice before and after a trek. Very social, felt very safe and was staffed overnight, lots of spaces inside to sit and chill or work. Everywhere was kept clean and I appreciated little things like the railings to dry clothes or towels, the water refills and free coca tea, and that I could store my luggage securely whilst trekking. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay. They switched our rooms a few times which was a pain but fine regardless. The showers don’t have much water pressure and often are cold but that’s expected! The bar is fun and the atmosphere is lovely. Food is good, walking distance to everything.
