Positive Reviews

Clean, cosy and comfortable

Guests are impressed with all options of accommodation here, especially the private rooms and studios, which have their own kitchenette facilities. The rooms are very well-kept and adequately furnished with all the basics. Dorm-staying guests like that there are no bunk beds in any of the rooms. According to reviews, some rooms even offer stunning mountain views.

Fantastic facilities

The on-site facilities provide guests with everything they need for a comfortable stay. A guest laundry area and a spacious, well-equipped communal kitchen are key to travellers' comfort. Visitors enjoy spending time in the spacious lounge area, which has a large TV, fireplace, and ample entertainment options. The outdoor area is also reported to be very inviting, especially during warm weather.

Steps from the city centre

Guests find this hostel very well-located, just steps from the town centre and all the shops and restaurants. It is very easy to get around the area on foot alone. Of course, the hostel is also just minutes away from the thermal spas, which is the major attraction of the area.

Negative Reviews

Thin walls

Light sleepers may want to pack their earplugs, as soundproofing between rooms is lacking. Guests also recommend avoiding the units near the bathrooms, as these tend to be the noisiest.
