Excellent central location, basically the best situated place for people who likes to stay in the middle of everything. Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean and tidy. Both communal bathroom and kitchen was always clean and no bar odor anywhere in the vicinity. Guaranteed staying again and exploring other rooms next time.

Cool place right in the center of the town Nice view of the lake in the kitchen, save some money by hitting the kitchen instead of the bar
1-night trip

8/10

Generally good, a bit small sized room but clean and well-equipped, just in front of the lake and middle of town so can enjoy the view and use convenient facilities very easily.
2-night trip

10/10

Unbeatable location in the center of the center. Literally 10ft from the pier and the views we travelled for. Yes, it is listed as a hostel, but if you book the private room, it is the same as a hotel, but basic. We had the 4-bed room (traveling with two adult kids). I would absolutely return there.
