Comfortable and convenient stop on the way south

The room provided adequate comfort. It wasn’t luxurious, but it was clean. It was nice that breakfast was included. The location is perfect, right along Highway 1 for traveling south, such as to Vik.

Great place to crash for the night! The beds were comfy with sinks in the room. The breakfast in the morning had the most options I've ever seen for a complimentary breakfast at any accomodations! 10/10 would recommend.

The exterior was a bit run-down but fairly clean and fresh inside. Felt more like a room than the Hostel that it is. Would book again.
