It is ok

The stay was fine, there were no towels and no soap at the accommodation. I had to go buy own towels and soap to take a shower. The were no cell phone charging points and some beds were making squeaky sound, probably to old. There was not enough parking as well

For too young people

It is ok if you are single and in your twenties. Not for families. Nice people, room dirty, not water, difficult to found.

Nice place with a tiny pool

To be honest; I'd liked Plet more than Knysna because of the lack of a beach. But at least they have a tiny pool to cool down. The backpackers itself was really nice with an awesome staff. Great place of you want to visit Knysna

物価の高いナイズナで、安く泊まれる宿。

ナイズナのショッピングモールの隣にある。ドミトリーやフロントがある建物は、大音量で音楽が流れていたり、人が多かったりで、落ち着かないが、ダブルルームがあるもう一つの建物は静か。大きなキッチンがある。バストイレは共用。タオルがなく、持ってきてと頼んだから、返事は良かったが、持ってきてくれなかった。

Es war Gott sei Dank nur für eine Nacht

Als wir ankamen traf uns der Schock. Ein typisches Backpacker Hostel, Was eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm ist. Jedoch war das Zimmer sowie das Bad alles andere als in Ordnung Punkt unter der Dusche hat man sich verbrüht und das Wasser im Waschbecken ist auch nicht abgelaufen.
Insgesamt war es so hellhörig, dass man um 6 Uhr morgens kerzengerade im Bett saß, weil man dachte es steht jemand im Zimmer.
Schade. Aber auch für eine kurze Nacht nicht so super. Die Parkplatzsituation ist auch seehr begrenzt.

Gutes Hostel mit fabelhaftem Personal.

Nur die Betten waren etwas zu klein, sonst war alles super in dem schnuckeligen Hostel. Man war super freundlich und Abends waqr immer was los, mit Musik und Grill.
