"We stayed in the family cabin with our 4 children. We all enjoyed our stay. The room had its own toilet and shower, a small fridge and tea/coffee facilities. Though the bed had sheets and pillows, there was no blankets so we were a little cold during the night. The lounge area was popular with the kids, they loved the beanbags and hammocks. The pool area was well equiped with bean bags, hammocks and plenty of shade from surrounding trees. The bar was only staffed by one person on the Saturday...

"My room was a 4 person room which was decent overall. The pillows were small and not sufficient. The rooms a/c barely worked and the room had a damp / wet smell and feel the whole time. This is the perfect location in town if you want a party as they have stuff going on every night. The location is perfect for anything you would wanna do in town and the price was right for sure. "

"I shouldn't expect too much from any hostel, including the Espy. I found what appeared to be a cockroach in the room the first night In the hallway, I dispatched of a very large one. I didn't receive an email with instructions for self check-in. Fortunately, there was someone who contacted a staff person who provided us with the necessary information to get in the room. Shower was good, but the handles fell off. Hot water in the sink never really got hot. Nonetheless, we got by and enjoyed...

"All staff were absolutely lovely but accommodation is run down majorly. Arrived with a big group and given any company would find that stressful, there was no organisation whatsoever. Half of us were left without a key, facilities weren’t great and one of the rooms were without a lock. It’s fine for one night but don’t stay by yourself. "
