good breakfast, nice staff, good nights sleep for snow boarding. Sometimes they will have a game of poker if there is nothing to do.I was hungry and the staff made me a sandwich :))

Great! Had New years eve there and was perfect! Right in the middle of the action and the staff threw us a party for the night! The balcony from the hostel ws the best place for the countdown! Will be back again!

We enjoyed our stay in the hostel over Christmas. The private room and the facilities that came with it were great, although the kitchen was not a fully functional one which was a shame when it came to making Christmas lunch! On the downside the welcome we received and the staff were not the most friendly or jovial. However, the location is the best there is if you want to be in the centre.

Overall, wouldn't recommend. I felt that the staff was there to answer questions, but weren't particularly inviting. There are lockers provided but no locks, so I slept with my laptop bag at night. There are no bathrooms in the main living room area, meaning you have to go outside to the bedroom areas to use the bathroom, with an unheated hallway in between. I wouldn't say my experience was hugely negative, but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

1.staff is not helpful 2.there is no parking(!) website tells it is (we had to pay extra to park our car, it was very expensive) 3.the place was noisy all night. We could not sleep. People laughed, screamed and ran all night....something terrible! 4.there was a terrible smell of cigarettes in the room. We had to open window in winter to be able to sleep.. 5.I had to admit that it was the worst place I have ever been... Magdalena Filek (Poland)

we(a group of 12 people)spent 2 nights here.It is close to everything right in the middle of main street.Everything was so clean and tidy.The free breakfast was good though not so many choices.But the common room where we had breakfast was too small to fit many people during one time.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! we'll definitely come back..

The staff were excellent, very helpful both before and during the stay. they helped set up some bookings at Huts in the mountains and were really helpful. My only complaint; many of the guests were young (we are in our 50's and are serious hikers) and some stayed up til 5am making lots of noise talking, laughing, etc which is great, but not if others are trying to prepare to hike in the mountains. The 10pm noise curfew was not respected, nor enforced-only complaint.

Really nice place to stay for few days. Perfect location, kitchen quite small, but rooms are very spacious. A lot of nuise on Friday and Sutarday night. Nice and cheap place to stay, nothing special....

Some of the rooms upstairs have ceiling windows which can't be opened, which made our room a bit too hot at the end of August. Staff was friendly and provided a small fan, but still it wasn't enough.
