United Kingdom, April 2024

Great vibes with friendly staff, cozy garden, and comfortable rooms. Free delicious breakfast, helpful hiking advice, and easy parking.

Felt most welcome, zero complaints.

I felt like a herb-gathering, veggie-plucking queen at this place! the garden was my haven, but oh, those squeaky bunk beds! the kitchen was a dream, though chaos reigned after a wild party. the cats? Pure joy. Despite chilly rooms and elusive staff, the vibes were chef's kiss. I was counting down the days, but now I'm low-key missing the garden greenery. Time to move on, with chapped lips and a happy heart. Cheers!

My friends and I had a blast staying here after hitting up Hotel Triplets and Entertainment zone! the staff were chill, the vibes were 👌, and the social scene was lit. Plus, the hostel cat was the cutest bonus ever!

More fun evening activities for party-loving teens would be epic!

Room too small for 2 people.

we had a fantastic time at Mountain View Backpackers. the staff was friendly, creating a cozy and social atmosphere. the well-equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze. loved the laundry drying rack in the garden and the adorable roaming cats. great location near shops and lake front, with comfortable showers and plenty of storage space in the room.

Couldn't stay longer! 😞.

I had a blast picking my own veggies in the garden. the staff rocked at helping plan activities. the location was perfect for chilling by the lake.

Waiting for the shower was my favorite part of the stay.
