Liked: Great place to stay. Only downside is having to lug all your belongings up the very steep hill leading to it. Still the view from the hostel of the town and lake is kind of worth it.

26 February 2009 Chris would recommend this property

Liked: Yes, the hill is a bit steep, but it's not that long and once you do it a few times it's fine. The hostel itself is a real home away from home. After staying a few days I was sad to leave and wish we'd stayed longer. The views are better than any you get from the hostels downtown too.
