The hotel is located in the high bank precinct,a peaceful area to meet travellers from all walks of life. The area has a village like feel and both bridges (the two main attractions) are only a short stroll away. There are several good restaurants in the area as well as massage parlours, (much cheaper that closer to either bridge)general stores, a fantastic travel agency 'swiss travel tours' who have expert knowledge of the area and will happily assist and inspire you for many adventures! The hotel has its own yoga hall and twice daily classes with a highly skilled teacher. In my 5 week stay, i never had an issue with hot showers and the hotel has back-up electricity, which i was told was a rarity. Free, fast and reliable wifi yippie! The hotel rooms are fresh large and clean with a huge private balcony overlooking the mountains. There is also a rooftop (which i took full advantage of!) where you can have small gatherings, soak up the sun or read a book. By far the thing that stands out from my stay at hill top is the impeccable service and welcoming and friendly approach of the staff, particularly the owner. I could really see that he put his heart and soul into making sure guests were comfortable and enjoying their stay. He went above and beyond in accommodating guests requests. I made many friends at Hill Top, many of which extended their stay because they enjoyed it so much... only con is that it is hard to leave!
