It's truly great to be up there after all the day visiting crowds have left - even during the summer peak season I had the whole outside area for myself! The whole place has a great Alpine vibe. The staff was amazing. The lady that checked me in went out of her way to make me feel at home.
The shower facilities are one level below. I am a wheelchair user and I will not recommend this for any wheelchair user that travels solo. I left my electric wheelchair downstairs and with my partial mobility had to navigate my way up the stairs to the room, only to find that it's also a bit of a longer walk than expected from my bed to the toilet (not bad if you are fully able-bodied). I waited until 07h00 for the staff to open the doors at the restaurant level to enjoy the outside - which was totally spectacular. A fully able-bodied person can use a door with a code to get in and out after hours to take full advantage of the serene quietness.

This hostel is part of the top of the mountain complex. Unbelievable views from your window. Shared washroom and showers were fine. Self serve food offers as well as table service. Day trippers gone by 6pm so you have this amazing location pretty much all to yourself in the evening and early morning. Place is FULL of people before 5pm though.
A little confusing when you first arrive but friendly staff sorted me out. So many staff at the beginning of the season when I visited who I think were still learning on the job. The dinner options for hostel guests left a little to be desired so gave it a miss and ate at the self serve canteen (closes at 5).

Great location, great view.
The guesthouse cares more for day trippers to the location than those who are staying.
All 'comforts' were tidied away once the day trippers left.
Very poor dinner arrangements. Tiny portions, no options. Gluten free options were poor.
Starter salad was lettuce.
Dessert was a single scoop of ice cream.
Breakfast was also poor.
Room had one plug in a six person room, no mirrors.
