Expensive booking through Expedia , book it directly from the hostel website. You will be able to get the same room for roughly one third. Staff was nice and courteous. Location was awesome and again since it’s a hostel you can’t expect everything.

設施及環境皆完善的背包客棧

此背包客棧規劃了多種公用的區域，包括很大的大廳，早餐區，工作及休閒區，小庭院等，很喜歡這些區域的規劃，讓我們待在這些區域可以享受休閒和渡假的氛圍。 最喜歡的是他們有大大的廚房，讓我們得以在住宿的期間可以自己下廚，吃到自己煮便宜又豐盛的晚餐，加上有免費的美味早餐，內心充滿感恩。 房間方面覺得若增加可掛衣服的衣櫃、小毛巾及廁所多點置物的地方會更好。 整體還是很喜歡的，希望未來能再入住。

Hostel was in a great location in the city centre (however that meant slightly further away from the train station ~15 min walk which was a slight struggle with a heavy luggage). Service staff were helpful and friendly. Room had amazing view of the mountains. Decent breakfast spread. The room had a slightly musty smell. Lack of PowerPoints in room for charging

In our room we can hear people scraping their chairs in the middle of the night. We would suggest putting covers on the chair legs to prevent the noise.

Everything is great at this stay except one incident that happened during our stay. At around 11:30 pm one night, a male customer had key access to our private room (females only). The receptionist gave him the wrong key to my room. We were not very happy about that. Luckily, nothing bad happened. I take safety seriously while traveling aboard and what happened was disappointed!

Full kitchen with many cooking stations and conventional ovens too. You can absolutely buy groceries and cook from scratch. Free breakfast (bread, cereal, yogurt, fancy coffee machine, hot chocolate, tea). Free dryers (coin laundry). Rooms are spacious if you book a private one. Next to bus station although train station is also walkable. Can borrow a hair dryer. Room amenities are limited but not a concern for us. Separate shower and toilet and sink in the room. Plenty of large lockers that will fit large suitcases, and lockers in the room if you're sharing the room with someone else. Recreational activities include ping pong, foosball etc. All free to use. Excellent location. Nice gardens and terrace spaces too.
