Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Solid operator.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.
