The location of the hostel is very idyllic. The parking lot is in a forest parking lot, which is quite muddy in bad weather.The room size is okay. I had a spacious closet in the room and a large mirrored closet in the bathroom. That's a nice thing.Unfortunately I didn't really use either as I only stayed one night.That was a good thing too. Because behind the shower curtain!!! I found a two-handle shower faucet that was too long and covered the drain. However, this would not have been needed as there was no warm water available. Other guests also had this experience.In the summer it would have been bearable, but not after a stormy February day with hailstorms.Definitely not recommended.

Idyllically located on the edge of the forest, pleasant furnishings in a harmonious Ikea style. Quiet, very clean and in good condition. We slept wonderfully. The kitchen and lounge are sufficiently stocked and practical. However, a teapot is missing.I've had hotels that were significantly worse.
