I thought the hostel would be in better condition. It is outdated and needs refurbishing. Only bathroom provision was a pump handwash on basin. Definitely not recommending for the price paid.

Billig alternativ

Rent stort rom, hyggelig betjening, enkelt å parkere Gangavstand til byen og stranden Rolige omgivelser med fin utsikt fra balkong Enkel standar da dette er en folkehøyskole gjort om til sommerhotell Rimelig alternativ om man ikke ønsker å bruke mye penger. Selvbetjening av kaffe og evt ferdig smurte brødskiver Mulighet for å bruke kjøleskap til drikke, evt kjøpe på stedet

Stram op! Total renovering påkrævet.

Skap hostel er nedslidt og ikke vedligeholdt. I regnvejr satte personalet spande op. Lamper på værelset duede ikke og en sengelampe ku ikke tilsluttes. Vakkelvornt bord, elendig sofa og støvede gulvtæpper.
