Stanton Hostel

The beds are comfy, the dorm sleeping area is private, and the ski room is great. The kitchen is very well equipped, with cupboards, shelves, and fridges helpfully labelled. Staff were friendly, fun, and attentive. It's a quiet area with a supermarket close by and the ski bus right outside. Good price for the area, too. There are games and vendors. What more could you ask from a hostel? I'd recommend it and will be back.

This was my second stay, since the staff and general atmosphere work so well for budget solo travel. They're as friendly as ever, and the kitchen and showers are modern. The bed cubicle has a privacy curtain, a light, and a socket. It's a 10 min walk from Mpresis for groceries.

The location is amazing and the building has a lot of potential, but for 125€/night I expected better facilities. My room was in a basement and felt like a corridor. There wasn't a clothes hanger or even a stool to sit on while putting on socks. Some things were broken, and I noticed a bit of dirt. I expected a great communal area, but there wasn't much to do.

The common room can be a good place to meet a group of Misfits heading into town for a late night. It's got a coffee machine, a vending machine with basic drinks and instant noodle packets, shared fridges and pantries with shelves assigned to beds, plus a fully equipped kitchen and a lounge with a pool table and board games. There's an arcade machine too, where I spent about half my trip. I challenge you to beat my score. Guests are in several upstairs rooms, each with a comfortable number of people, around 4-6 as I understood it. Bathrooms are well maintained, and the floors get swept and mopped daily. Staff are wonderfully accommodating and around at all times, even outside office hours. They'll exchange coins for pool, arrange room changes, answer questions, and sell beers for 3€ each. The location is pretty good, with a bus stop right at the hostel entrance. The nearest bars are about a 20 minute walk, and the main town center takes 25-30 minutes. The supermarket is downhill by the road, about a 10 minute walk up a steep hill. - trs
