    Inside the room is clean, but the outside areas are very dirty, and the bathroom on the first floor is smelly and lacks amenities.

    The room is clean and has space to prepare a simple breakfast in the kitchen area.

    Quirky old building, amazing view from our window, lovely and warm and peaceful,well equipped kitchen. Really easy to walk into town and to the local hiking paths, the swimming pool is just up the street

    The bathroom was a bit snug with a low sloping ceiling. I'm not tall and don't often knock my head on the ceiling, but I did here. Shower was a tight squeeze and the mat outside was constantly soaked. That was my only discomfort.

    Although my friends were allocated a room in the house across the street, which is part of the hostel, we were able to cook our meals together (depending on whose kitchen was less busy). Good location with gorgeous, snow-dusted mountains all round. My room was surprisingly large with an annex section furnished like a study, up on the 2nd floor, which gave me great views. Clean, warm accommodation, no queues at the bathroom or separate loo. Kitchen's got all you need.

    Unfortunately, the shared bathrooms were left unclean by other guests. The walls were super thin so you can hear everything that's going on in the common areas.

    The room was nice, clean and spacious. Smooth check-in. Nice location.

    The cooking area in the kitchen is relatively small, which can allow only one family cooking at a time. The room is relatively small, but has good blinder. As the kitchen is in the middle of the 3 rooms, we can hear the noise from the kitchen early in the morning.

    The hostel has two buildings, the red one which is the main building, and green, and we stayed in a quad-room on the ground floor of the green one. There were two bathrooms on the ground floor, which is good enough and there’s never any need to wait. The parking is about 100m from the hostel, which is very convenient.

    Would be very helpful to provide the parking lot location in the check-in email! (It is about a block away). You cannot park at corner or in-front of neighbors. No laundry options here which is a bummer. Walls are thin but luckily our neighbors were quiet. Note! Only breakfast place in town just had a few pastries, the grocery store was our next best option.

    Comfy beds, appreciate the self check-in, kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed.

    Well nothing really. Maybe only the fact that you couldn't park in front of the possession, however a parking lot was a short walk from the house

    Everything regarding the check in was well organized and fully automated. The room was comfortable. Everything simple but practical. Very nice the common room and the kitchen

    The sink had nothing to prevent the water from running away. This made doing the dishes less comfortable.

    I loved the tv room because we found ultimate relaxation there by watching a film.

    Very thin walls and doors slam easily. There was only one other couple in the hostel with us but some people really don‘t know how to close a door without slamming it every time! Our room was not in the red building shown on booking but on the other side of the street.

    Bathrooms are ok, kitchen is ok too but no dishwasher and ventilation doesn‘t work properly so there is always a strong food smell. Cannot rate the staff, as this is a self check in facility with no reception/ staff on site.
