The location was very nice, with walking distance to the lake, the restaurants and shops. The communal kitchen was very nice, clean, and spacious. The room was very small, without even a nightstand.

Probably the nicest hostel I've stayed at. Great facilities! great location. Parking is a little bit of a hassle; the 30 minute parks out front for loading/unloading are never free, but the supermarket parking next door works (limited time there too), and I observed others doing the same. Then you have to stash your car further away, but at least that parking is free. The supermarket is great. really this isi a terrrific place to stay.

Basic but comfortable

Nice and clean room, within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had the king bed room with private ensuite which was very basic, but comfortable enough for our one night stay.
