Room was next to a noisy laundry. Campervans parked outside the room running engines that poured fumes into the room. Toilet blocked overflowing. Cheap but very average

Black sheep is a friendly, well-maintained and very professional outfit, offering a great facility for budget-conscious travellers. The location is excellent but parking is a hassle as it is on-street. The best time to find a space is around 5.00 p.m. The staff are delightful and the beds are very comfortable. I would definitely come back.

Really great amenenties with the sauna, hot tub and bikes. Room and bathrooms clean. Wall are thin so heard a lot of walking around and movement but the hotel does a good job of strongly reminding everyone to be quiet during sleeping hours and everyone was curteous about that. Great location. Nice staff and early drop off of luggage was allowed which was helpful.

The Black sheep backpackers was incredible. The staff are friendly and professional. The facilities were excellent. The dorm rooms are clean with ample storage and a privacy curtain. The beds were comfortable and warm during the winter season. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare your meals. There is good storage for food in the fridge and a place for dry goods. The hot tub and sauna are real assets. Great after a day skiing biking or hiking or just to relax. Above all, the highlight to this property is the people you meet. All ages and backgrounds are welcome and mingle to share experiences and make new memories. Don’t hesitate. Book this hostel. You won’t be disappointed. 😊

Although there were 2 bathrooms I found them to not have enough hanging space, bathroom benches were small and often wet to put anything on. Had to use toilet paper to wipe dry, no paper towels. The second shower offered no privacy to change or dress or shelf to put shampoo etc on
