Gorgeous views right by the lake! It is a bit of a walk to town and not well lit in the evening but the shops close early anyways. Biggest let down is no chargers at each bed.

Whoever designed this hostel put all the money into the shared spaces, as the hostel rooms seem like an afterthought. Old fashioned bunks, need an extension cord for the one singular outlet i saw for the whole room. Felt like the hostel had the heat turned on during summer. but it's the cheapest hostel on the lake.

The hostel was comfortable to stay and way more cheaper than the hostels in the center, but therefore you have to walk a quarter to the center before you’re there… The hostel themselves is quiet relax, clean, comfortable and in a nice environment!
