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 It is outdated and needs refurbishing.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.

Billig overnatting med nostalgisk følelse

Positivt overrasket hadde privat enkeltrom med eget bad, god seng, rent bad og sengetøy. Stille å rolig område. Eneste som trekker ned er at man føler man er tilbake til 80-tallet med interiøret på rommet. Kommer gjerne tilbake!

2 netters opphold på Skap Hostel Mandal.

Et rimelig og bra overnattings tilbud. Har bodd her flere ganger før og er fortsatt fornøyd bortsett fra at det denne gang var en del støv under sengene. Dette kunne lett vært fjernet ved støvsuging el. vask.
