Liked: I was there for 2 nights but was told i had to change rooms after my first night. After stripping my bed and packing up my things i find out i dont have to move after all so i had to re-make my bed, etc - just a hassel. Nothing is included in the high price of the bed. The location is amazing and it was clean but apart from that it was a very average hostel in other respects

03 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing location - right on the lake. You can see the lake out your window. You can walk to many beautiful locations from the hostel. WiFi is expensive, although you may be able to find it at a bar a block or two away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There's a bus to the hostel from the train station. Unfortunately, not good at all socially. When I was there, almost no one else was. There were a few *older* couples, but that was it. Not many travelers in the town either. They have a large restaurant and bar in the hostel, but no one was there. However, the main tourist season had not started yet. Got a good night's sleep. This is a good place to stay on your own or with friends, if you want a nice, relaxing time. Just don't expect to make friends here.
