Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Can't beat the location, everything is literally in walking distance with the only need for a hire car for roaming, all the shuttles are the next street over for most activities and tours. We cracked it with free parking aswell which was close to accommodation. And views from the shared kitchen area are breathtaking. Clean accommodation, staff friendly with lots of advice.

Both communal bathroom and kitchen was always clean and no bar odor anywhere in the vicinity. Guaranteed staying again and exploring other rooms next time.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Unbeatable location in the center of the center. Literally 10ft from the pier and the views we travelled for. Yes, it is listed as a hostel, but if you book the private room, it is the same as a hotel, but basic. We had the 4-bed room (traveling with two adult kids). I would absolutely return there.

Generally good, a bit small sized room but clean and well-equipped, just in front of the lake and middle of town so can enjoy the view and use convenient facilities very easily.
