The Hostel team were excellent, food and drinks selections and standard are high. Rooms are fine - showers a bit dated in the room, but did the job after been out all day.
Very clean - surprisingly clean even! Simple but warm in atmosphere - my husband was surprised that I booked this place (we’re in our 60’s) but it was outstanding & charming. We highly recommend if you’re looking for convenient location & simplicity.

Disliked: Staff & service
Flight delayed, couldnt comunicate with the hotel and when I arrived nobody opened or give some help. I had to travel 3 hours more to get other hotel at 2 am. Phone is an answer machine, messages nobody answer. The place look bad and smell to canabis!
Très bonne ambiance
Personnel sympathique et réactif
Douche à l’eau froide avant d’être réparée
Chambre sommaire mais propre !
Salle et bar communs au top
Très bon accueil par une équipe jeune chalet très sympa ecolo deco des chambres tendance salle de douche dans la chambre un peu vétuste pas d’espèce de rangement pour affaires de toilette . Food truck à disposition excellent . Belles ballades à faire sur place . Disposition d’une cuisine commune bien agencée .
Jag har aldrig bott på hösten tidigare, detta var en mycket positivt upplevelse. Här fån ingen mat att köpa men ett stort kök att laga egen mat i, bar fanns och en mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal! Vi hade ett rum med dusch men ingen toalett. Toaletten fanns på samma våning så det var inget problem. Vi kan tänka oss att återvända.
