Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near everything including the lake, beds comfortable, rooms spacious, always plenty of hot water and great heating system. Shower fabulous and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay an unforgettable one. Carla especially was one of the loveliest people you could meet. Don’t even bother looking anywhere else just book this property and I guarantee you won’t regret it.
