BUG review
Anndion Lodge is a new hostel on the north bank of the river although it is a bit far from the centre of town. It has excellent facilities that include a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining room, free internet access (including Wi-Fi) and a lounge room with a TV, pool table and fireplace. There is also a salt water swimming pool, a sauna and spa. Everything here is brand new and very clean. However there are TVs in the rooms, which keeps people away from the common areas and dampens the atmosphere.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.
