Liked: Good location, with good facilities.

Disliked: The room had old towels left in it from previous guests behind the door, and was missing a pillowcase, luckily i travel with my own and had to use that as we'd arrived after hours. apart from that an adequate hostel

29 June 2010 Constantin would recommend this property

Liked: Decent location, close to supermarkets and not far from the lake itself. Ping-pong table was a bonus.

Disliked: Rooms were stuffy and the beds were unusually set up, they were fairly comfortable but probably not good if you are over 6ft. Not much space to keep your things. Just generally felt like a boring hostel, standard YHA but no atmosphere.
