I thought the hostel would be in better condition. It is outdated and needs refurbishing. Only bathroom provision was a pump handwash on basin. Definitely not recommending for the price paid.

Billig alternativ
Rent stort rom, hyggelig betjening, enkelt å parkere
Gangavstand til byen og stranden
Rolige omgivelser med fin utsikt fra balkong
Enkel standar da dette er en folkehøyskole gjort om til sommerhotell
Rimelig alternativ om man ikke ønsker å bruke mye penger. Selvbetjening av kaffe og evt ferdig smurte brødskiver
Mulighet for å bruke kjøleskap til drikke, evt kjøpe på stedet

Stram op! Total renovering påkrævet.
Skap hostel er nedslidt og ikke vedligeholdt. I regnvejr satte personalet spande op. Lamper på værelset duede ikke og en sengelampe ku ikke tilsluttes. Vakkelvornt bord, elendig sofa og støvede gulvtæpper.

Veldig bra
God og rimelig overnatting sentralt i Mandal. Ca 2 min gange inn til gågaten og bryggen. Gratis parkering og gratis kaffe/te i resepsjonen hvor du også kan kjøpe ferdig smurte matpakker til en rimelig pris.

Billig overnatting med nostalgisk følelse
Positivt overrasket hadde privat enkeltrom med eget bad, god seng, rent bad og sengetøy. Stille å rolig område. Eneste som trekker ned er at man føler man er tilbake til 80-tallet med interiøret på rommet. Kommer gjerne tilbake!

Ett boende som var okej varken mer eller mindre. Ofräscht med heltäckningsmattor överallt på alla ytor. Toalett och dusch var det som kändes fräschast av allt.

2 netters opphold på Skap Hostel Mandal.
Et rimelig og bra overnattings tilbud. Har bodd her flere ganger før og er fortsatt fornøyd bortsett fra at det denne gang var en del støv under sengene. Dette kunne lett vært fjernet ved støvsuging el. vask.

Rent og pent, hyggelig betjening i resepsjonen. Ganske enkle forhold, det er en folkehøyskole. Gode senger. Gratis parkering. Valuta for pengene. Ingen frokost, men kort vei til gågaten med bakeri og restauranter.
