Staff is friendly and to say they are helping is quite an understatement. People staying in are generally nice and respectful, so it's a good place to rest, and/or have fun (there are lots of parties, barbecue nights etc). denis

When I first got here the reception was closed so some of the guys let me through the gate and I got chatting to them, and shortly after we were messing around in the pool. The lady in reception was then back so I chatted to her and she gave me my key and showed me my room. Later on... More

I loved my time in this Hostel and have stayed for 3 month. It is quite small so it was easy to meet new people and I soon felt like in a little family. You get a free cereal breakfast, Wi Fi und a free dinner in a near bar so if you want to save money it is kind... More

Usually me and my friend planed to stay a couple of days in the Woodduck. Finally we stayed over 2 months and it was such a good time. Its quite cheap and breakfast and dinner is included in the weekly rent. Best thing about the hostel is the great community. The hostel is kind of small and thats the reason... More

Except that the shower head was so low I had to physically bend through my knees to be able to wash my hair. When... More

You can't expect much for the price you pay in the hostal. I made a visit to the Woodduck when they just change to from Rosie's in 2009. My experiance is very plesant. Very nice people and you've got free meals. Clean enough for me as a backpacker. If you want more you can always go to a Hotel. Had... More
