Very friendly staff, they allowed us to leave our bags in the hostel safely during the day even after check-out and even lent us two umbrellas for the day (rain was expected). Exceptional cleanliness and great location, great value for money.

Very nice location. Not too far from train station, very nice area with the lake, mountains and so on. The rooms are very nice, especially compared to the price. Breakfast is even included, and when I had to leave at 6am, earlier than breakfast, they made me a bag with breakfast. Everything was very nice, especially the staff. The staff was very professional.

All amenities were good. Value for money. Nice little place. Although it is not of a big concern, the bathroom was a little crooked. Reachable in just 10 mins from the train station. Well maintained. Keep it up!

Very friendly staff! Hostel has a kitchen and is close to a grocery store. We also liked the on-site restaurant's food. Rooms were clean and tidy, some had sinks. Location was great for exploring on foot and by bus.
