"I am very very disappointed in this hostel. There were no actual door locks. The property is old and not in good repair and worst of all is that my mattress smelled very strongly of cat urine. Really! They tried to cover it up by hanging a toilet bowl sanitizer on the wall of the room. I removed it because the fumes were overwhelming. Also... they rent rooms by the hour! Yikes. It was the worst experience for me in a hotel/hostel, and I am a world wide traveller and often opt for...

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was more than expected. Outside of the room being huge and clean, the scenery around the hotel was beautiful. You can take a nice calming walk on grounds and just be lost in tranquility. 100% loved it. Great restaurants and bars on the grounds as well"
