Clean rooms, basic and old but still... It's a hostel. Shared bathroom was ok but some people really took their time, so maybe it's not enough facilities for the guest capacity (1 bathroom with toilet and 2 showers, but all in the same room, so once you lock yourself in, nobody can use any of it - therefore 2 showers make no sense if they are in the same room. This is for 8 guests upstairs).
The common space has a small kitchen and living room with a big dining table. The kitchen is well equipped and there were some leftover foods you could use (sugar, salt, other spices, tea, coffee, etc.). The kitchen could use a water kettle as it takes ages to boil water on the stove.
The hostel is above a bar but it doesn't pose a problem. By 22-23h the bar is closed.
Staff was friendly. Smash burgers were excellent. Beers were good (lager was my favourite).
This is a great option for a 1-2 nights stay.
We saw one of the guests setting up a mattresses on the floor of the living room, meaning she slept there. That was strange cause this is the common space and we had a feeling we couldn't enter the living room and kitchen anymore.
There is no parking available, but the town is small so there's a €5/24h public parking at the entrance of the city (roundabout towards the sky diving area), or even for free if the skydiving airport is not packed (they also have their own parking).
The kitchen could use a water kettle.

This is a fantastic location especially if like being right in the middle of the town. The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The bathrooms were also clean. It felt like a very comfortable accommodation especially considering the price. Beer was also very good! 100% would stay again. Also, if you come with a car, park at the large dirt lot up the hill, not the central parking lot in town as it is €2 per hour cheaper.
They do have concerts several nights during the week and they last till about 11:00 (23:00) so sleeping will be a challenge on those nights.

Friendly staff, clean ammenities and great value for money. As a bonus, we loved the fact that we got a little discount at the restaurant for the smash burgers.
I understand that the rooms are budget-friendly but the mattress in our room at least needs to be changed asap. Springs were jumping through the material. 10 for the price, staff and ammenities , 5 for the bed

"Great location, neat room, clean :) It was perfect for us - a convenient location to reach nearby hiking spots. We’d like to stay longer but it was already fully booked. No parking available but just ..."
