Liked: Everything was very good and very clean! Nice common rooms and great views! Nice garden! 6 bed dorm was spacious and clean, with 2 bunk beds and 2 single beds. I liked that there were lots of plugs, so that everyone could charge their phone at the same time.

Disliked: could be some more toilets, every time I came in people were using both of them..

Liked: Good location, warm, great views over the lake, parking available.

Disliked: Could have been a bit cleaner. Also the 5-share female dorm I was in had no outside window but was between 2 corridors so was light and noisy - the skylight also contributed to an early wake-up!
