Hippo Lodge Backpackers

A good basic hostel offering nice Clean rooms and a shared kitchen. Parking is hustle but If u don't get a spot def ask the manager and he'll help you out. The view from the balcony is good. Great value for money so extended our stay. The host is a real cool person.

The view is excellent from the lodge. However, if you don't drive, there is a deep slope and stairs you don't want to climb before reaching there. The mattress sinks. My room was next to laundry. Inconsiderate people did their laundry till midnight. If you can overcome these, it's a good choice.

Loved tha place, helpful and friendly staff, great place. Stayed in a double room with living room and lounge to share with other two rooms. The views are nice as its uphill, the parking space is not the greatest but there is always a solution, enjoy it

From the Kitchen you have a beautiful view over the city. Rooms were Clean and everyone was really nice! We had a good time here!

Good for the price, there are a few things that could do with fixing but nothing essential.

The hostel itself is quite basic, and it's a little walk uphill with your baggage. However the view is stunning over the city and the mountains and the lake behind. But what really made the diffence for me was the kindness of the owners. Thanks a lot for your great hospitality Holly!

Great hostel, nice staff, some issues with the wash/dryer but great location and nice rooms :
