Great place to stay
9.0Great place to stay, comfortable beds, great quality showers, there is a body wash inside already. Refillable water multiple places. You receive a guest card that gives you access for local buses so it makes it up for the 20min walk to the train station. And your European plugs will work in the sockets and they also provide Swiss plugs to borrow.
− The building is old so expect a lot of floor squeaking. Wish that showers inside had some more hooks and shelves. The social aspect is not very well communicated/clear, wish they had an overall info/All you need to know when you join the group chat of regular activities etc.
Excepcional
10.0Nos encantó el lugar, se siente como estar en casa. Tiene una vibra muy hogareña de lugar de montaña. La habitación estaba muy bien, los colchones y almohadas excelente. El método de heladeras que tienen está muy bueno, la comida de huéspedes que ya hicieron el check out queda en una heladera en común y reduce el desperdicio. Los empleados todos muy amables y dispuestos a cualquier pregunta y todo.
− La verdad no tenemos nada para decir, la pasamos excelente y sin duda volveríamos.
O hostel tem equipe excelente, infraestrutura impecável mas pra quem viaja com bagagem grande e pesada deveria ter como
6.0Localização e infraestrutura
− Os quartos compartilhados doscandares superiores nao possuem elevadores para facilitar carregar bagagem pesada escadas acima. Os lockers de locação nao podem programar mais de 12h de uso. O ideal então seria locar por varios dias.
Beautifully convenient.
9.0Super helpful and wonderful staff. Clean rooms. Great location.
− Only one floor for bathrooms and showers. No elevator. No kitchenette.
