Classic youth hostel. Old room concept with loft beds. Small rooms, medium sized bathroom. The house and the rooms are clean but not up to date.There are much nicer and more modern DJH houses here.One socket each at the night light and one in the hallway.Breakfast is OK.

Clean rooms and otherwise average standard for a youth hostel. It's better to make a few provisions yourself for the evening, as there are offers after dinner. Great selection for breakfast with good filter coffee.

Great accommodation for school trips or similar! The rooms were clean and the food was good. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed to clearly organize meal times for several large groups and so it happened that some young people in our group were rudely told that we should now come eat. Otherwise, a nice youth hostel in a fantastic environment. Good for hiking or walking.

It's a small youth hostel, which I think is great. The rooms are typical of a youth hostel, but clean and tidy. There is a power socket on every bed. We enjoyed the food very much. The employees were all friendly. Unfortunately, one of the employees couldn't describe any routes, which was a shame for us. The location of the hostel is great as you can start from there to several hiking destinations. The mountain outdoor swimming pool is also not far away if you use the path behind the youth hostel. We had a very nice time here. Thank you.
