Perfect! 😍 the lake view is amazing.

The beds are a little hard but it is a hostel.

6 / 10Average·Feb 2026

The location was really good especially the view outside of the accommodation.

The cleanliness was not good enough. Toilets were very small and very inconvenient to use. Also the bed height was small I’m 6’1” and I couldn’t sleep properly because of the small size of the bed.
