This is the fourth occasion I have had to stay at the Hideout Hostel. I find the atmosphere to be very welcoming and down to earth. I feel very comfortable there, from being able to make tea on arrival, the nice breakfast including coffee, the new folks that come and go each there. Michael is very effective as a host, very helpful with suggesting places that should be visited and inquiring of folks as to how the days went. The hostel is very central to town and this is a huge plus. I look forward to future visits to this hostel and town.
