not a bad hostel if you were paying a lot less for it.things were broken, curtain rods falling down, no hot water one night, toilets out of order etc. would not accept credit cards, cash only, really inconvenient considering the high price. breakfast consisted of dry toast with butter/caramel... more not a bad hostel if you were paying a lot less for it.things were broken, curtain rods falling down, no hot water one night, toilets out of order etc. would not accept credit cards, cash only, really inconvenient considering the high price. breakfast consisted of dry toast with butter/caramel spread and bad coffee thats it so dont plan on a big day of skiing or hiking on that alone!!great view but far too costly for what it wasclose

Great view of the lake, close to the city center but at the same time in very quiet place. Nice and thoughtfull staff. The doble room was brand new, very confortable, very clean with big bathroom. We seriously recomend.

Amazing views of the lake from rooms and common room. We stayed for three nights but in hindsight should have stayed longer as both Patanuk and...

A really nice hostel in a great location overlooking the lake and very close to the centre of town. The bar is now open although was fairly quiet during our stay. Unfortunately they do still have a problem with toilets blocking however they do act quickly to fix it when this issue is reported.

The hostel was very nice. The views to the lake are so pleasant. I just would love a TV in the room but we spent time out of the hostel, most of the time, anyway. I am not sure it is a good idea the dog in the hostel, but it is my opinion. Others could like that.

A brilliant, relaxed hostal to stay in. The only problem was the toilets, they were blocked a lot of times in the 4 days I was there, but the staff were aware of the problems and sorted them out promptly. Would stay again.

The only complaint that I´d have is that the staff, although great, were very hard to find. The location, on the edge of the lake, must be the best in town.

La ubicación es excelente, a la orilla del lago y cerca del centro. El salon es muy agradable y el desayuno esta incluido en el precio. Los dueños son amables y dan buenos consejos. Si engrasasen las bisagras de las puertas de las habitaciones, se dormiría mejor.
