10/10 Excellent

I stayed in the Backpacker Double room with shared bathroom. The room was spacious enough for me as a solo traveller but might be a bit too cramp for a couple. The shared bathroom and kitchen was clean. The kitchen has all the things you would need. The hotel is also a few minutes walk to the walking tracks.
