The hotel is located outside of town, so if you want to eat out, you'll need to walk a bit. However, there is a large parking lot, making it convenient for those traveling by car. The dining room and kitchen are well-equipped, and it seems that many guests cook their own meals. One nice point was that check-in was handled by staff rather than an automated system. They gave clear explanations and guidance, which was easy to understand and much appreciated. Each private room faces an outdoor corridor, and the lodge-style design felt refreshing. The ceiling above the lower bunk is quite low, so taller guests might find it uncomfortable when sitting up. I also found it slightly inconvenient that when using a plug adapter in one of the two outlets, it blocked the socket for the bedside light, making it unusable at the same time. That said, the room, bed, shower, and toilet were all very clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Bed was comfy, bathroom was a bit grim. TV didn’t work, bit noisy at night but it is a hostel so to be expected. WiFi was good, kitchen was available but we didn’t use it though.

Minus: My room was just sufficient, but not practical. And at night I had to tape cardboard on the window pane to screen from the outside electrical light, and to darken the room enough for sleep. Plus: good location, good atmosphere, good facilities.
