I hope the management values the wonderful staff they have secured. Kyle (Mondays shift) and Jimmy (Fridays shift)were absolutely amazing. There were friendly, helpful and very professional in their dealings, not just with us but all-comers. Surf’n’Snow is backpacker accommodation and as such has basic, simple facilities. In general we found the amenities clean. You get what you pay for and it’s in a central location. (Note:There is a building site nearby).

weird hostel.”
okey for one night, maybe two. But definitely not a place to stay longer. Not really chill, and for sure not to meet people. Some crazy long term people living in there.

Stayed here a few months prior and definitely can see improvements with more staff hired. New door keypad is wonderful and general cleanliness, especially bathroom and kitchen are noticeable. The room we stayed in still smelled bad (dirty carpet) but the bed was much better than the first time. Would recommend for low budget travelers but not for a long term stay

Stay here unless without car otherwise overnight parking is expensive.

Its the cheapest for a reason”
The hostel is in an excellent location, friendly staff. On the downside the Agoda description has "Free WiFi" in every room and this is incorrect. The kitchen is in the basement and overall cleanliness could of been better, the bathroom on the 3rd floor was in poor condition and the linen was very old.

Decent room”
the room did not have any window just fortunate that it was winter otherwise would have suffocated if it was summer.
