Friendly and helpful staff. Good location, close to the lake. The reception area was a bit boring, not a place for gathering or meeting people, just comfy chairs ordered in a hotel lounge/waiting room style. But all in all the hostel was a good place to sleep!

This property is weird. Off vibe, staff wasn’t able to recommend much besides one restaurant. Super hot in rooms. Not the best place for solo travelers, no events or ways to really meet people.
