Onze conclusie:
Vrijwel alles is goed verzorgd. Alle reserveringen waren
gemaakt. Het eten is overal prima. (Wel wat vaak rijst en
macaroni)
In onze periode (eind mei) waren we vaak de enigste gasten in het
hostel. Pas tijdens Hemelvaart zaten de meesten hostels vol.
in het pakket zaten ook de laken pakketten, kaarten en toegangskaarten
voor 3 kastelen.
Ook een aanrader
