It is wonderfully quiet there and the children can play outside all day long in a protected environment. The food was super tasty.

Very friendly staff, bosses respond immediately to criticism. Great area for school trips. The rooms are normal standard for youth hostels. Unfortunately the rooms weren't completely clean.

The rooms are a bit older, but generally clean. The rooms and play options are excellent for children and groups. The service is courteous and makes many things possible. The youth hostel is a bit remote. The parking lot is a bit small for large groups. Overall, it is a good youth hostel that is clearly kept in good condition by the owners.

My impression of this place was super nice for children, there was a huge playground with plenty of seating and barbecue facilities.Rooms were ok. Sanitary room was separate and not cleaned. Everything was paid on Friday but we were allowed to pay again on Sunday. The invoice was then issued manually. The young and older gentlemen were super friendly, the older lady was rather nasty and impatient. When we were packing our car, all we said was, "We should hand over our keys straight away and pay the rest because they had a wrong number in there."
