    The value for money was great and the room was comfortable with convenient amenities. The location was beautiful, right by the lake, and easy to reach on foot from the main station. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    The breakfast selection could be improved with more variety and options.

    Comfortable beds, clean showers, free overnight parking. We appreciated the late check-in, and enjoyed the 5-minute walk to a lovely beach. The receptionist kindly accommodated our request to switch roommates. a recommendable stay.

There are plenty of leisure facilities to keep young holiday goers entertained, such as bike rentals and hiking trails. the service is friendly, and the breakfast is tasty and filling.

    I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience. the location was fantastic. It was just a short 10-minute walk from the main train station in a quiet residential area near the lake shore. The hotel is situated in a nice neighborhood, making it a peaceful and tranquil place to stay. Secondly, the staff was amazing. From the moment I contacted them before my arrival, they were very helpful and responsive. They provided excellent service throughout my stay. Lastly, the rooms were comfortable and well-equipped. I especially appreciated having a terrace where I could relax and enjoy the views. The small kitchenette was also convenient for preparing meals or heating up food. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and well-maintained. Plus, the fact that breakfast was included in the price was a bonus.

    All was fine, no improvements needed.

    Great location by the lake, with easy access to a park, and just a 10-minute walk from the railway station. The rooms are in good condition and have either a terrace or small balcony. Breakfast is included in the reasonable prices, making it a great value. Detail: Rooms have terrace or small balcony.

    No negatives – all was great!

    the location was conveniently close to a lake and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. I enjoyed the convenience of having a kitchen available for use.

    The check-in and check-out times were inconvenient for me as there was a gap of several hours where no assistance was available. the limited number of stovetops in the kitchen made it difficult to cook when there were many guests.

    Great value for money hostel with convenient location in town. The shared areas were well-maintained and cozy. I loved being able to use two kitchens and eat either outside or inside. The beds were very comfortable and I felt secure with the locker and the room key. The public toilets and showers were clean and well-maintained, never had to wait. The complimentary chocolate given upon check-out was a lovely touch.

    The check-out time was quite early for me and I couldn't leave my luggage in the hostel as there were no staff available during their mid-day break. the sheets provided were confusing as the beds were already made.
