Excellent central location, basically the best situated place for people who likes to stay in the middle of everything. Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean and tidy. Both communal bathroom and kitchen was always clean and no bar odor anywhere in the vicinity. Guaranteed staying again and exploring other rooms next time.

Unbeatable location in the center of the center. Literally 10ft from the pier and the views we travelled for. Yes, it is listed as a hostel, but if you book the private room, it is the same as a hotel, but basic. We had the 4-bed room (traveling with two adult kids). I would absolutely return there.

quite good but too cramped
the location is really good and the view from the kitchen is amazing. it was clean enough overall. but toooooooo cramped. I stayed in a dormitory for 6 and ensuite. the bathroom was tooooooooo cramped as well. And there was a musty smell in the room as there was no ventilation.

recommend this place
Generally good, a bit small sized room but clean and well-equipped, just in front of the lake and middle of town so can enjoy the view and use convenient facilities very easily.
