Positive: The best part was the staff there,Maximilian was super kind and helpful. The location is good close to the park. It had a large sitting room that was nice.
Negative: My room seemed old and worn out. Upgrading mattresses, curtains, private plugs would have been nice.
Summary: Freezer Hostel is a great affordable option close to the national park.
