Brekke Gard Hostel

Location, friendly helpful receptionist

Lack of facilities, shower on a different floor, steep narrow hazardous steps to 2nd floor

The location is great - clean bed linen, friendly staff

There was not much food available, which I understood. The stairs up to the second floor is not terribly safe.

Pay attention when you book this hostel! The images in the pictures on booking (of the white little houses) are only half of the hostel. The other half is located in an old barn 100m away, which are nowhere near as nice as the white houses. My partner and I had a terrible check-in experience with a very rude receptionist, which assigned us one of the other rooms (mouldy, very old, never refurbished), and was extremely unhelpful when I went back to try and discuss it. I was not able to say my issue with the room because she kept interrupting me, saying that she doesn't agree with me and things like: "Do you have a bed? Do you have a bathroom? What is your problem then?". Thankfully ALL of the other members of staff were absolutely lovely; when I went back to my partner to tell him what had happened, another lady working in the hostel at the time asked me what happened, apologised and talked to the owner in order for us to be moved to a better room. The room we got moved to was LOVELY, a true representation of the images on booking.com (which, with this price for a hostel, was a relief to have!). Later on we saw there were other clients in the room we were originally assigned to, and we felt bad for them (the hostel was full by this point). So if you book this place please REQUEST a room in one of the white houses-trust me on this!
