Reviews (8.9 Excellent)
I stayed for two nights. I found the hostel to be excellent for cleanliness. The beds were comfortable and the lockers were big. The only problem is coming in later when everyone is asleep and trying to open and close doors and get things out of the locker in the pitch dark.
I can't still get over that beauty of tavarnelle and a receptionist girl at that hostel who was so helpful and so nice! I would just like to thank her again for being so cute and helpful! I loved it there and i stayed one more night, i come back and stay more just to enjoy tavarnelle's nature local food and an amazing wine!
